The larger redundant Fibre Channel Fabric configuration shown in Figure 4-2
contains these key cluster components:
■ Six ProLiant servers (nodes)
■ Two Fibre Host Adapters in each server node
■ Two Fibre Channel SAN Switches
■ Five RA4000/RA4100 Arrays. Each RA4000 Array holds up to eight
1.6-inch disk drives or twelve 1-inch disk drives. Each RA4100 Array
holds up to twelve 1-inch disk drives.
■ Two single-port array controllers installed in each RA4000/RA4100
Array
■ Ethernet NIC adapters, cables, and Ethernet switches or hubs for the
Ethernet cluster interconnect (not shown)
■ Ethernet NIC adapters, switches or hubs (not shown), and cables for the
client LAN
This cluster configuration could be made even larger by adding a second or
third redundant Fibre Channel Fabric to the PDC/O2000. Each redundant
Fibre Channel Fabric or redundant FC-AL can provide its own Fibre Host
Adapters and RA4000/RA4100 Arrays to the cluster without the need for
adding nodes.
