Chapter 2  Configuring for SPU Switchover/XL 

Your HP customer engineer will configure your hardware correctly.
Refer to Figure 2-1  for a conceptual overview of the hardware
configuration.


          Figure 2-1.  SPU Switchover/XL Hardware Configuration 

All groups in MPE XL reside on a home volume set.  The home volume set
specification indicates either the system volume set or a nonsystem
volume set where the files of any given group are to be found.

Nonsystem volume sets can be switched over to an alternate system.  To do
this, you need to configure the systems so that the designated
applications can run on the alternate system when switched over.

There are seven basic steps for configuration and initialization of SPU
Switchover/XL:

   1.  Planning.

   2.  Identifying the systems for configuration.

   3.  Configuring the system names that are to be paired as alternates.

   4.  Configuring the volume sets to be available for switchover.

   5.  Creating the duplicate account structure on the alternate system.

   6.  Ensuring that your configuration is complete.

   7.  Activating the SPU Switchover/XL environment.
