MSA1000 clustering
Clustering is rapidly gaining in popularity as users desire a high level of data availability. Many of the old
cluster restrictions that were the product of both hardware and operating systems have been overcome.
While there still remain configuration limits, the result is a new high degree of flexibility both in number of
clusters, mixing clusters with single nodes, and the integration of dissimilar operating systems.
For example you may mix three Microsoft (Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000) clusters and other
individual servers, even doing so in a heterogeneous server operating system environment. Windows
Server 2003 allows a single cluster of up to eight nodes.
Single-path (single controller, non-Secure Path) NetWare clustering has been successfully tested up to a
12-node cluster. NetWare clusters employing Secure Path (dual controller, dual HBAs) are limited to six
nodes. Multiple NetWare clusters (and single servers) may have concurrent access with no limitation
inherent to the MSA1000. Likewise up to a 16-node Linux cluster (single controller, non-Secure Path)
utilizing SteelEye LifeKeeper for Linux clustering software has been tested and is supported. Presently a
Linux/Secure Path configuration is limited to a two-node cluster. Refer to
http://www.hp.com/go/securepath
for any restriction on Linux with Secure Path.
The MSA1000 has the ability to be configured with thirty-two LUNs. Best practices would dictate
generally no more than sixteen servers accessing a single MSA1000. More commonly, users have had an
average of five to eight nodes. This can be any combination of hosts or clusters with different operating
systems while holding fast to the guidelines and limits described in the above paragraphs. Performance
within these guidelines is heavily dependent on the actual number of end users and types of applications
being employed.

The ProLiant Cluster F200 for the Entry Level SAN is designed to assist in simplifying the
configuration of cluster solutions that provide high levels of data and applications availability in
the Microsoft Windows Operating System environment through clustering to provide no-single-
point-of-failure. The ProLiant Cluster F200 for the Entry Level SAN supports a two-node cluster
based on Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server and two to eight-nodes cluster based on
Microsoft Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition operating system, the StorageWorks Modular
Smart Array 1000 (MSA1000) and MSA1500 cs, or Raid Array RA4100 and ProLiant Servers. This
solution also supports StorageWorks Secure Path management software.

HP Serviceguard for Linux
HP Serviceguard is a high availability solution that leverages the strength of HP's experience in the HA
business, bringing the best-in-class mission critical technologies to the Linux environment and ProLiant
and Integrity servers. HP Serviceguard provides critical applications the high availability that enterprise
customers require for 24x7 business operations. It is designed to protect applications from a wide variety
of software and hardware failures, monitoring the health of each server (node) and quickly responding to
failures including system processes, system memory, LAN media and adapters, and application
processes. Serviceguard enables customers to cluster HP ProLiant and Integrity server families with shared
storage from HP Modular Smart Array 1000 to HP StorageWorks XP disk arrays in a 2-node SCSI or 2 to
16-node Fibre Channel configuration.
