Consider a computing cluster consisting of two nodes running a database Describe two?

Consider the following two alternatives: asymmetric clustering and

parallel clustering.With asymmetric clustering, one host runs the

database application with the other host simply monitoring it. If the server

fails, the monitoring host becomes the active server. This is appropriate

for providing redundancy. However, it does not utilize the potential

processing power of both hosts.With parallel clustering, the database

application can run in parallel on both hosts.

Disadvantage

However, it does not utilize the potential

processing power of both hosts

The difficulty implementing

parallel clustering is providing some form of distributed locking

mechanism for files on the shared disk
