The core group bridge service can be configured to establish communication
between core groups. A core group is a statically defined component of the
high availability manager. To configure communication between core groups,
use an access point group. An access point group is a collection of core
groups that communicate with each other.
Before you begin
Before you configure a core group bridge service, become familiar
with the content of the following topics:
- Core groups, which describes the functionality of a core
group.
- Creating a new core group (high availability domain), which
describes how to configure a core group.
- Configuring communication between core groups that are in the same
cell, which describes how to configure communication between core groups
that are in the same cell.
- Creating advanced core group bridge configurations, which
describes how to configure two or more core groups, such that the members
of each core group can communicate with the members of the other core groups,
even if one or more of the other core groups resides outside of a firewall.
About this task
You must configure the core group bridge service whenever two
or more core groups are configured in the same cell. You must also configure
the core group bridge if you need to share traffic among core groups that
are in different cells. Configure the core group bridge to communicate between
cells only when the service is required by another product component. By configuring
the core group bridge service, the availability status of the servers in each
core group is shared among all the configured core groups. You can configure
core groups to communicate in the following ways:
Procedure
- Configure the core group bridge service for communication between
two core groups that are in the same cell. You can configure each
core group to communicate with one or more of the other core groups in the
cell.
- Configure the core group bridge service for communication between
two core groups that are in different cells. You can configure
the core group in one cell to communicate with a core group in the other cell.
- Configure the core group bridge service for communication within
the cell and outside of the cell.
- Configure the core group bridge service for communication within
the cell and outside of the cell.
- Configure the core group bridge service for communication within
the cell and outside of the cell.
Results
Multiple core groups can communicate with each other.
What to do next
Continue configuring the high availability environment.
