Cluster Planning 4-3 Within each server, the appropriate number and speed of the CPUs and memory size are all determined by several factors. These include the types of database applications being used and the number of clients connecting to the servers. NOTE: Certain restrictions apply to the server models and server configurations that are supported by the Compaq Parallel Database Cluster. For a current list of PDC/O5000certified servers and details on supported configurations, refer to the Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 Certification Matrix for Windows 2000. This document is available on the Compaq website at www.compaq.com/solutions/enterprise/ha-pdc.html Planning Shared Storage Components for Redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics Several key components make up the shared storage subsystem for the PDC/O5000. Each redundant Fibre Channel Fabric in a PDC/O5000 uses the following hardware components: I Two or more KGPSA-BC PCI-to-Optical Fibre Channel Host Adapters (KGPSA-BC Host Adapters) or KGPSA-CB PCI-to-Optical Fibre Channel Host Adapters (KGPSA-CB Host Adapters) in each node. I Two or more Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switches (Fibre Channel SAN Switches), each of which connects all of the cluster nodes to both array controllers in each storage subsystem. I Compaq StorageWorks Modular Array 8000 Fibre Channel Storage Subsystems or the Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Array 12000 Fibre Channel Storage Subsystems (MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystems). Each storage subsystem holds up to 72 disk drives. I Two dual-port Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controllers (HSG80 Array Controllers) installed in the controller enclosure of each MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem.

Cluster Planning
4-3
Within each server, the appropriate number and speed of the CPUs and
memory size are all determined by several factors. These include the types of
database applications being used and the number of clients connecting to the
servers.
NOTE:
Certain restrictions apply to the server models and server configurations that are
supported by the Compaq Parallel Database Cluster. For a current list of PDC/O5000-
certified servers and details on supported configurations, refer to the
Compaq Parallel
Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 Certification Matrix for Windows 2000
. This

Planning Shared Storage Components for
Redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics
Several key components make up the shared storage subsystem for the
PDC/O5000. Each redundant Fibre Channel Fabric in a PDC/O5000 uses the
following hardware components:
■
Two or more KGPSA-BC PCI-to-Optical Fibre Channel Host Adapters
(KGPSA-BC Host Adapters) or KGPSA-CB PCI-to-Optical Fibre
Channel Host Adapters (KGPSA-CB Host Adapters) in each node.
■
Two or more Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switches
(Fibre Channel SAN Switches), each of which connects all of the cluster
nodes to both array controllers in each storage subsystem.
■
Compaq StorageWorks Modular Array 8000 Fibre Channel Storage
Subsystems or the Compaq StorageWorks Enterprise Modular Array
12000 Fibre Channel Storage Subsystems (MA8000/EMA12000
Storage Subsystems). Each storage subsystem holds up to 72 disk
drives.
■
Two dual-port Compaq StorageWorks HSG80 Array Controllers
(HSG80 Array Controllers) installed in the controller enclosure of each
MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystem.
NOTE:
For more information about redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics in a PDC/O5000
cluster, see Chapter 2, “Cluster Architecture.”
The Fibre Channel SAN Switch is available in two models:
■
Fibre Channel SAN Switch 8 (8 ports)
■
Fibre Channel SAN Switch 16 (16 ports)
