Cluster Configurations
This section highlights some of the possible Windows NT/Windows
2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) Cluster configurations that can be realized
using either of these Fibre Channel topologies. Use the configuration maximums
outlined in this section to determine the viability of Windows NT/Windows
2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) cluster configurations that are not shown.
The Enterprise & Modular Storage RAID Array can be used in various
configurations in a Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) topology. The
following list highlights Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop configuration limits with
emphasis on MSCS Configurations.
Single Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)
Cluster Fibre Channel Configuration
A single Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) cluster
Fibre Channel configuration requires that all Fibre Channel components reside on
the same Fibre Channel Loop. This cluster configuration allocates all storage
partitions to one Windows NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit)
Cluster and supports a maximum of two Enterprise & Modular Storage RAID
Array systems on one Fibre Channel loop. Figure 52 illustrates a single Windows
NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) Cluster Fiber Channel
configuration with one Enterprise & Modular Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel
system.
A single cluster supports the use of both HSG80 Fibre Channel host ports. This
allows you to create an additional eight storage units. A single Windows
NT/Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) Cluster configuration, when
configured with multiple Storage Arrays and expansion storage cabinets, can
accommodate more than two terabytes of data.
