Technical data

The primary focus of this chapter is on an eight-node cluster that uses
externally terminated shared SCSI buses with minimal storage. This type
of cluster is of primary interest to high-performance technical computing
(HPTC) cluster customers. It is also of importance to those customers
who use Tru64 UNIX Versions 4.0F or 4.0G with the TruCluster Software
Products Memory Channel Software Version 1.6 product who want to
upgrade to Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1A and TruCluster Server Version 5.1A.
11.1 Overview of an Eight-Node TruCluster Server Cluster
Figure 11–1 shows a basic block diagram of an eight-node cluster.
______________________ Note _______________________
The public network is not shown in Figure 11–1, or in any other
illustration in this chapter. Ensure that you have network
adapters for your public network.
This is just one of many ways to configure an eight-node cluster. You must
choose a configuration that best fits your applications and needs.
