10.5 HP StoreVirtual Storage VSA Installation and Configuration Guide (TA688-96138, March 2013)

Sample configurations
Some sample configurations and their uses and benefits are described below.
Single system configuration
A single system configuration is useful for implementing a simple iSCSI target that can scale up to
a redundant iSCSI SAN of any size. A single system configuration has only the elements listed
IMPORTANT: A single system configuration offers no data protection, failover, or redundancy,
and is not recommended.
• One VSA
• A single management group
• A single cluster
• Running a single manager
Figure 5 Single system configuration
Two-system configuration
A two-system configuration is the smallest possible redundant configuration. Automatic failover
between systems requires a failover manager. A two-system configuration includes the elements
listed.
• Two VSAs in a single management group
• A single cluster
• Two managers
• A Failover Manager added to the management group
NOTE: For more information, see “Failover Manager Overview” in the HP StoreVirtual
