PowerEdge Cluster Configuration Matrix D-1
Appendix D
PowerEdge Cluster Configuration Matrix
T
he Cluster Configuration Matrix form, which is
shown on the following page, is attached to the back of
each cluster node and is used by the system installer to
record important information about the hardware on each
cluster component. Keep these completed forms attached
to their respective cluster components. Have these forms
handy any time you call Dell for technical support.
The form provides fields for the following information:
•
Form completion date
•
Unique cluster identification (ID) number
•
Service tag numbers for each cluster component
•
List of each cluster node’s Peripheral Component
Interconnect (PCI) slots and the adapters installed in
each
•
Usage description for each installed adapter
•
PowerEdge Scalable Disk System 100 (SDS 100)
storage system service tags associated with each
PowerEdge Expandable redundant array of inexpen-
sive disks (RAID) Controller channel
NOTE: Currently, only two PowerEdge SDS 100
storage systems are supported on the PowerEdge
Cluster. Future enhancements will provide support
for up to four SDS 100 storage systems.
