2-4 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O1000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide RA4000 Array The RA4000 Array is one shared storage solution for the PDC/O1000. Each non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric or non-redundant Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) can contain one or more RA4000 Arrays. Each RA4000 Array contains one single-port RA4000 Array Controller. The array controller connects the RA4000 Array to one Storage Hub, FC-AL Switch, or Fibre Channel SAN Switch, which in turn is connected to one Fibre Host Adapter in each cluster node. The RA4000 Array can hold up to twelve 1-inch or eight 1.6-inch Wide-Ultra SCSI drives. The drives must be mounted on Compaq hot-pluggable drive trays. SCSI IDs are assigned automatically according to their drive location, allowing 1-inch and 1.6-inch drives to be intermixed within the same RA4000 Array. The RA4000 Array comes in either a rack-mountable or a tower model. For more information about the RA4000 Array, refer to the Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide.

Each RA4100 Array contains one single-port RA4000 Array Controller. The array controller connects the RA4100 Array to one Storage Hub, FC-AL Switch, or Fibre Channel SAN Switch, which in turn is connected to one Fibre Host Adapter in each cluster node.
