Clustering and fabric zoning

If you plan to use clustering, install and conﬁgure the clustering software on the servers.

Clustering is the organization o f multi ple servers into groups. Within a cluster, each

server is a node. Multiple clusters compose a multi-cluster environment. The following

example shows a multi-cluster environment with three clusters, each containing two

nodes. The no

des s hare access to the disk array.

Within the Storage Area Network ( SAN) , the clusters may be homogeneous (all the

same operating system) or they m ay be h eterogeneous (mixed o p erating systems). How

you conﬁgure LUN security and fabric zoning depends on the operating system mix and

the SAN c onﬁguration.
