Clustering Enhancements for IBM i 7.4 TR 2

Automatic add of an MRE upon object creation when cluster node is partitioned or not active

A new feature is added to the cluster administrative domain to automatically add a Monitored Resource Entry (MRE) when an object is created, even when clustering is not active or partitioned on the node. Previously when QCST_AD_CREATE policy was defined, when an object was created, it automatically added the MRE to the cluster administrative domain only when clustering was active on the node. If an object was created when clustering was not active, it required a user to add the object manually to the cluster administrative domain. A new feature is now added to the cluster administrative domain to automatically add the MRE when the object is created, even when clustering is inactive or partitioned.

IBM i 7.4 PTF SI73171 provides this function.

Device CRG support for IP addresses as device entries

A new feature is added to the device Cluster Resource Group (CRG) to support IP addresses as device entries. IP addresses can now be added as device entries to a device CRG. This new support can help you easily manage a set of IP addresses that need to be moved among the recovery domain nodes of a device CRG.
