PowerHA GUI

A new PowerHA GUI has been made available in System Director Navigator for i. It currently supports switched disk and geographic mirroring environments, and DS8000 FlashCopy, Metro Mirror, and Global Mirror technologies.

The PowerHA GUI provides an easy to use interface to configure and manage a PowerHA high availability environment. It has the ability to configure and manage cluster nodes, administrative domain, and independent auxiliary storage pools (IASPs).

This support was originally made available in October 2011 via a no-charge PRPQ. With this latest PTF, the PRPQ is no longer required and this enhancement is fully supported and translated in the PowerHA product.

At a future time, the PowerHA GUI will be enhanced to also support DS8000 lun level switching, and San Volume Controller (SVC) Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, and FlashCopy.
