Technical data
The Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1A operating system is installed on
member system 1. It can be installed on an internal disk, as is the
case in Figure 11–1, or on a shared disk.
Member system 1 is used to create the cluster with the
clu_create
command.
Member system 2 is added to the cluster with the clu_add_member
command.
The shared storage for member systems 1 and 2 contains the root (/),
/usr, /var file systems for the cluster, and the boot disks for member
systems 1 and 2. (See the Tru64 UNIX
Installation Guide and the
TruCluster Server Cluster Installation manual for information about
installing the Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server software.)
Give member systems 1 and 2 one vote.
– Member systems 2, 3, 4, and 5 share storage on the second shared
SCSI bus. Four systems is the maximum number of cluster members
that may be on a shared SCSI bus.
The shared storage on this bus contains the member system boot
disks for member systems 3, 4, and 5.
Use member system 1 or 2 to add member systems 3, 4, and 5 to
the cluster.
Give member system 3 one vote.
– Member Systems 1, 6, 7, and 8 form the third shared SCSI bus.
The shared storage on this bus contains the member system boot
disks for member systems 6, 7, and 8.
Use member system 1 or 2 to add member systems 6, 7, and 8 to
the cluster.
Section 11.2.1 and Figure 11–2 provide the details about cabling member
systems 1 and 2 for the first shared SCSI bus.
Section 11.2.2 and Figure 11–3 provide the details about cabling the second
shared SCSI bus and member systems 2, 3, 4, and 5 into the cluster.
Section 11.2.3 and Figure 11–4 provide the details about cabling the third
shared SCSI bus and member systems 1, 6, 7, and 8 into the cluster.
______________________ Note _______________________
You can install Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1A
after you complete member system 1 and 2 hardware installation,
or you can wait until the hardware for all the systems is installed.
