5 RHCF Proof of Concept Configuration
Customers often have different requirements and standards when it comes to what can be
deployed. This proof of concept provides one combination of the hardware and software
versions that were tested in the Red Hat Reference Architecture labs. This section provides
an overview of the software and hardware required to build a Red Hat Cloud Foundations
solution.
As shown in Figure 5.1: Infrastructure Overview, there are two clusters configured. The first
cluster is a cloud services infrastructure management cluster set up with Red Hat Cluster
High Availability running on Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 6.0 hosted on two IBM
BladeCenter
vii
servers. Attached is an HP MSA fibre channel storage array that presents a
single 500GB LUN to both servers. This shared storage enables the virtual machines to be
stored on the SAN and failed over to the other node in the event of a host failure or scheduled
maintenance. This cluster hosts the virtual machines that provide management and
infrastructure services like Satellite server, DNS, DHCP, PXE, JBoss Operations Network and
MRG Manager.
The second cluster is running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization with one host using a Red Hat
Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor and the other host running Red Hat Enterprise Linux with
KVM – both are on IBM BladeCenter servers. The HP MSA fibre channel storage array is also
presenting a single 500GB LUN to these two hosts which enables fail-over of the virtual
machines. This cluster is responsible for hosting the virtual machines that run the
applications which scale out. These applications are a Seam based hotel reservation system
running on JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, a custom Java application called javaApp
and finally a perfect number application running on MRG grid execution nodes.
