BS2000 provides HIPLEX support for node files which are managed by HSMS. The node files must belong either to BS2000-UFS or to remote passive nodes.
HIPLEX support for node files and for DMS files is very similar. SM pubsets must also be used for HIPLEX support for node files.
HSMS offers the following support if the data and the metadata are saved on one SM pubset:
After a host crashes HSMS continues backup/restore for both BS2000-UFS and for remote workstations on a substitute host. The archive is made available by importing the SM pubset. The archive is made available by importing the SM pubset. Once the crashed host is up and running again, HSMS makes it possible to return to this host without problems.
Requests which were interrupted by a system failure are started again by HSMS on the substitute host.
HSMS recognizes node reconfiguration. Reconfiguration is understood to be the reorganization of nodes, where the affected activities are transferred from one host to another without causing a system failure. The reconfiguration can be carried out for all of the nodes or only for certain POSIX-HIPLEX users.
