The key concepts in this section can help you understand how Business Continuity Clustering manages your business continuity cluster.
A cluster of two to four Novell Cluster Services clusters that are managed together by Business Continuity Clustering software. All nodes in every peer cluster are running the same operating system.
A cluster resource is a cluster-enabled shared disk that is configured for Novell Cluster Services. It is also BCC-enabled so that it can be migrated and failed over between nodes in different peer clusters.
Business Continuity Clustering requires a special Identity Manager driver to synchronize the cluster resource configuration information between the peer clusters. For information, see Section 6.0, Configuring the Identity Manager Drivers for BCC.
