5-6 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide Installing the Cluster Interconnect Adapters A PDC/O5000 running Oracle8i software has an Ethernet cluster interconnect. Both redundant and non-redundant cluster interconnects can be used. Ethernet Cluster Interconnect For a non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect, install one single-port or dual-port Ethernet adapter into each cluster node. For a redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect, install two single-port or two dual-port Ethernet adapters into each cluster node. If you need specific instructions on how to install an Ethernet adapter, refer to the documentation of the Ethernet adapter you are installing or refer to the user guide of the ProLiant server you are using. Refer to the section "Cabling An Ethernet Cluster Interconnect" for more information about building an Ethernet cluster interconnect. Installing the Client LAN Adapters Unlike other clustering solutions, the PDC/O5000 does not allow transmission of intra-cluster communication across the client LAN. All such communication must be sent over the cluster interconnect. Install a NIC into each cluster node for the client LAN. Configuration of the client LAN is defined by site requirements. To avoid a single point of failure in the cluster, install a redundant client LAN. If you need specific instructions on how to install an adapter, refer to the documentation for the adapter you are installing or refer to the user guide of the ProLiant server you are using. Installing GBIC-SW Modules for the Array Controllers Each MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem's controller enclosure contains two dual-port HSG80 Array Controllers and ships with four GBIC-SW modules. Verify that one GBIC-SW module is installed in both port connectors on each array controller. Install another GBIC-SW module into the two ports on the Storage Hub or Fibre Channel SAN Switch associated with each array controller.

Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide
Installing the Cluster Interconnect Adapters
A PDC/O5000 running Oracle8
i
software has an Ethernet cluster interconnect.
Both redundant and non-redundant cluster interconnects can be used.
Ethernet Cluster Interconnect
For a non-redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect, install one single-port or
dual-port Ethernet adapter into each cluster node. For a redundant Ethernet
cluster interconnect, install two single-port or two dual-port Ethernet adapters
into each cluster node.
If you need specific instructions on how to install an Ethernet adapter, refer to
the documentation of the Ethernet adapter you are installing or refer to the user
guide of the ProLiant server you are using.
Refer to the section “Cabling An Ethernet Cluster Interconnect” for more
information about building an Ethernet cluster interconnect.
Installing the Client LAN Adapters
Unlike other clustering solutions, the PDC/O5000 does not allow transmission
of intra-cluster communication across the client LAN. All such
communication must be sent over the cluster interconnect.
Install a NIC into each cluster node for the client LAN. Configuration of the
client LAN is defined by site requirements. To avoid a single point of failure
in the cluster, install a redundant client LAN.
If you need specific instructions on how to install an adapter, refer to the
documentation for the adapter you are installing or refer to the user guide of
the ProLiant server you are using.
Installing GBIC-SW Modules for the Array
Controllers
Each MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem’s controller enclosure contains
two dual-port HSG80 Array Controllers and ships with four GBIC-SW
modules. Verify that one GBIC-SW module is installed in both port
connectors on each array controller. Install another GBIC-SW module into the
two ports on the Storage Hub or Fibre Channel SAN Switch associated with
each array controller.
