Supported Configurations
HP Clustered File System supports multiple FibreChannel switches
configured as a single fabric and multiported SAN disks. The following
diagrams show some sample cluster configurations using these
components.
Single FC Port, Single FC Switch, Single Fabric
This is the simplest configuration. Each server has a single FibreChannel
port connected to the FibreChannel switch. The SAN includes two RAID
arrays. In this configuration, multiported SAN disks can protect against a
port failure, but not a switch failure.
