The Best Way to Keep Twinax
Users Working
Is With a Pure TCP/IP Controller
In
most disaster recovery scenarios these days TCP/IP is the protocol of
choice for switching between machines. Most solutions to switch users from
the primary AS/400 to the back-up AS/400 require that the IP address under
which the AS/400 appears be changed. For example, say that the production
AS/400 has IP address 10.1.1.10, while the back-up AS/400 normally uses
10.1.1.20. In the event of a disaster, the back-up AS/400 switches to
10.1.1.10. All the PC users using TN5250 do not have to change their
settings; they simply restart their sessions and sign back on.
What Happens to Twinax Users?
In
the same scenario, Twinax users suffer a harsher plight. During disaster
recovery the local Twinax users can be left without any access to the
back-up AS/400. Remote Twinax users usually can be switched over using
some scripts on the AS/400, however is often a challenge.
Is There a Better Way?
IP-based
Twinax controllers like the
I-O Corporation Xip+ Twinax
Controller and the
BOSaNOVA eTwinax Controller can easily switch between
AS/400?s because they treat Twinax users the same way they treat the PC
users, once the session is reset. Once the
Xip Controller is connected
to the back-up iSeries, the users can sign right back
on.
What About Locally Attached Twinax Users?
Even
locally attached Twinax users can work in this fashion, using the
Xip+ Twinax
Controller or the
eTwinax Controller series. These
controllers are designed to work in a local Twinax environment.
The
local Twinax cables connect to either of these
Twinax Controllers in place of the local
Twinax controller resident in the AS/400. The Twinax
Controller
connects over the Ethernet network to the Power8, Power7 or any model
AS/400
with their integrated 10/100 MHz Ethernet
connections, ensuring fast response times.
You simply switch the Twinax Controller to the
back-up AS/400.
