Cluster Planning 4-7 Planning Cluster Configurations for Redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics Once you have investigated your requirements with respect to particular parts of the cluster (ProLiant servers, shared storage components, cluster interconnect components, client LAN components), you need to plan the configuration of the entire PDC/O2000. This section describes sample configurations for small and larger clusters using redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics. IMPORTANT: Use the Oracle documentation identified in the front matter of this guide to obtain detailed information about planning for the Oracle software. Once the required level of performance, the size of the database, and the type of database have been determined, use this Oracle documentation to continue the planning of the cluster's physical components. Sample Small Configuration in a Redundant Fibre Channel Fabric Figure 4-1 shows an example of a small PDC/O2000 cluster: a two-node cluster with one RA4000/RA4100 Array in one redundant Fibre Channel Fabric.
