Cluster Planning 4-11 Planning Cluster Configurations for Redundant Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loops 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.

Cluster Planning
4-11
Planning Cluster Configurations for
Redundant Fibre Channel Arbitrated
Loops
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 large clusters using redundant FC-ALs.
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.

Figure 4-3 shows an example of a small PDC/O2000 cluster: a two-node
cluster with one RA4000/RA4100 Array in one redundant FC-AL.
