4 Expanding an existing cluster
When adding a new installation to an existing cluster, HP recommends that the new installation
conform to the network topology of the existing cluster.
Since earlier StoreAll platforms were often shipped with dedicated ProCurve switches for connecting
the management components, this implies that the new system should implement the dedicated
management network topology and should use the existing ProCurve switches for its management
network.
For example, the following figures show the logical, physical, and cabling views for an StoreAll
9730 that is integrated with an existing X9720 installation. The existing ProCurve switches are
labeled in the figures to make the overlap between the StoreAll 9730 and IBRIX X9720 more
obvious.
