Basic DT Configuration
The basic DT configuration includes a second target storage subsystem that mirrors
the data on the initiator storage subsystem. The basic DT configuration consists of
the following:
• Two ProLiant servers as cluster nodes
• Two storage subsystems
• Four StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch 8/8-EL or SAN Switch 16/16-EL
switches
• Two host bus adapters in each server
• Two storage controllers in each storage subsystem
Figure 1-1 shows a basic DT configuration consisting of two separated nodes.
The two nodes plus the initiator storage subsystem form a Microsoft Cluster Server
(MSCS) cluster.
