Figure 4-2. Larger PDC/O1000 cluster with one non-redundant Fibre Channel
Fabric
The larger configuration shown in Figure 4-2 contains these hardware
components:
■ Six ProLiant servers (cluster nodes)
■ One Fibre Host Adapter in each cluster node
■ One Fibre Channel SAN Switch to connect the RA4000/RA4100 Arrays
to the Fibre Host Adapters
■ Six RA4000/RA4100 Arrays
■ One RA4000 Array Controller in each RA4000/RA4100 Array
■ Ethernet NIC adapters, cables, and Ethernet switches or hubs for the
Ethernet cluster interconnect (not shown)
■ Ethernet NIC adapters, cables, and switches or hubs for the client LAN
