Abstract
The availability of cluster system with multiple nodes was investigated by taking common mode failure (CMF) into account. Firstly, the availability of system with one cluster node was analyzed. Then on the basis of analysis, contraposing to the cluster system with two nodes and three nodes, four continuous time markov chain (CTMC) models in the case of No CMF and in the case of CMF were constructed respectively. Moreover, numerical comparison of steady availability for these two cases was conducted by solving related linear equations and the conclusion on the priority and inferiority comparison of different cases is derived thereby, which offers theoretical foundation for establishing cluster systems.
