RE: H/A Replication Vendors and Temporal Tables

I wasn't aware they were a replication vendor.
Jim, I know that we've talked about my possible misconceptions before.
When I think about PowerHA I think it's more for hardware replication. You
store your data on a SAN and share it between two boxes. If you lose your
backplane or something else which rarely ever blows you fail over to the
other and keep on running.
I'm more concerned about putting PTF's, OS upgrade, etc on the backup,
bless that. Switch over to the backup, upgrade the primary, switch back.
We also do our daily backups from the backup and the primary only gets
backed up once a quarter.

We're currently not using SAN for our Power 8 boxes. Internal disk hosted
by an lpar of IBM i. Guest lpars are IBM i and AIX.
