2-10 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O1000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide Non-Redundant Fibre Channel Fabric The PDC/O1000 supports non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics. A non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric provides one I/O path between each cluster node and its Fibre Channel SAN Switch and one I/O data path between the Fibre Channel SAN Switch and each of its RA4000/RA4100 Arrays. The switching hardware used distinguishes a non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric from a non-redundant FC-AL. A non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric uses one Fibre Channel SAN Switch installed between one Fibre Host Adapter in each cluster node and the RA4000 Array Controller in each RA4000/RA4100 Array for that fabric. These hardware components cannot be shared by other non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics or non-redundant FC-ALs in the PDC/O1000 cluster. Each non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric consists of the following hardware: I One Fibre Host Adapter in each node I One Fibre Channel SAN Switch I One or more RA4000/RA4100 Arrays, each containing one single-port RA4000 Array Controller I A GBIC-SW module installed in each Fibre Host Adapter, each active port on the Fibre Channel SAN Switch, and each array controller I Fibre Channel cables used to connect the Fibre Host Adapter in each node to the Fibre Channel SAN Switch and the Fibre Channel SAN Switch to each array controller

Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O1000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide
Non-Redundant Fibre Channel Fabric
The PDC/O1000 supports non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics. A
non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric provides one I/O path between each
cluster node and its Fibre Channel SAN Switch and one I/O data path between
the Fibre Channel SAN Switch and each of its RA4000/RA4100 Arrays.
The switching hardware used distinguishes a non-redundant Fibre Channel
Fabric from a non-redundant FC-AL. A non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric
uses one Fibre Channel SAN Switch installed between one Fibre Host Adapter
in each cluster node and the RA4000 Array Controller in each
RA4000/RA4100 Array for that fabric. These hardware components cannot be
shared by other non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics or non-redundant
FC-ALs in the PDC/O1000 cluster.
Each non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric consists of the following hardware:
■
One Fibre Host Adapter in each node
■
One Fibre Channel SAN Switch
■
One or more RA4000/RA4100 Arrays, each containing one single-port
RA4000 Array Controller
■
A GBIC-SW module installed in each Fibre Host Adapter, each active
port on the Fibre Channel SAN Switch, and each array controller
■
Fibre Channel cables used to connect the Fibre Host Adapter in each
node to the Fibre Channel SAN Switch and the Fibre Channel SAN
Switch to each array controller
