Hello,
I've got a question. Simple and maybe obvious for anyone here but I am not absolutely sure what's the answer.
As I wrote in the subject - Are PowerHA and PowerHA SystemMirror 7.1 for AIX the same?
I search IBM's sites and sometimes they write about PowerHA and sometimes about PowerHA SystemMirror 7.1 for AIX - I am not sure if it's the same but I need to know this because I'd like to start reading the most updated documentation for PowerHA...
Thanks in advance.

Officially the brand is "PowerHA" and the products are "PowerHA SystemMirror Standard Edition" and PowerHA SystemMirror Enterprise Edition".

The previous product "HACMP" did not have a brand, just the product name and there are a lot of people that
use "PowerHA" instead of the correct name "PowerHA SystemMirror"

Presumably at some point in the future their might be other products in the "PowerHA" brand other than "SystemMirror" but for now "PowerHA" is commonly used instead of the full name "PowerHA SystemMirror".

There is a further complication in that there are two releases of PowerHA SystemMirror currently available, Version 6.1 and Version 7.1

PowerHA SystemMirror Version 7.1 is a completely different product than PowerHA SystemMirror Version 6.1 so
you can't say with certainty that "PowerHA" = "PowerHA SystemMirror 7.1"

Unfortunately you are going to have to rely on the context to tell if somebody says "PowerHA" to tell if they are referring to PowerHA SystemMirror Version 7.1 or PowerHA SystemMirror Version 6.1

Having now typed "PowerHA SystemMirror" a gazillion times I can attest to why people, just say "PowerHA" :-)
