Dell HPC NFS Storage Solution High Availability Configurations with Large Capacities

A.1.1. NSS-HA cluster specification

The section gives a detailed specification for constructing an NSS-HA solution, including:

 IP addresses and hostnames for the two R710 servers

 10GbE / IPoIB IP addresses for the two R710 servers

 iDRAC IP addresses, login names, and passwords

 APC PDU IP addresses, login names, passwords, and ports used by the two R710 servers

 Logical volume names, volume group names, and XFS file system mount points

 NFS IP addresses used to mount NFS

 Scripts for cluster

The configuration specified in this section will be used later in the recipe to construct the HA-cluster.

Any deviation from this configuration should be noted carefully since it require corresponding changes

in the cluster configuration script file later in the recipe. This section is provided as a reference of all

the configuration details.

Gigabit Ethernet IP addresses for the private network between the servers and the PDUs.
