Cluster Architecture 2-11 Multiple Redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics The PDC/O2000 supports the use of multiple redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics within the same cluster. You would install additional redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics in a PDC/O2000 to: I Increase the amount of shared storage space available to the cluster's nodes. Each redundant Fibre Channel Fabric can connect to a finite number of RA4000/RA4100 Arrays. These RA4000/RA4100 Arrays are available only to the Fibre Host Adapters connected to that redundant Fibre Channel Fabric. I Increase the cluster's I/O performance. Adding a second redundant Fibre Channel Fabric to the cluster involves duplicating the hardware components used in the first redundant Fibre Channel Fabric. The maximum number of redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics you can install in a PDC/O2000 cluster is restricted by the number of Fibre Host Adapters your Compaq servers support. Refer to the Compaq server documentation for this information.
