2-8 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O1000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide Each non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabric or non-redundant FC-AL contains one dedicated Fibre Host Adapter in every cluster node. Across nodes, Fibre Host Adapters for the same Fibre Channel Fabric or FC-AL must be installed in the same server slot and connected to the same Fibre Channel SAN Switch, FC-AL Switch, or Storage Hub. If the PDC/O1000 cluster contains multiple non-redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics or FC-ALs, then each Fibre Channel Fabric or FC-AL has its own dedicated Fibre Host Adapter in each cluster node. For more information about the Fibre Channel Host Adapter, refer to the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter Installation Guide or the Compaq StorageWorks 64-Bit/66-MHz Fibre Channel Host Adapter Installation Guide. Gigabit Interface Converter-Shortwave Modules A Gigabit Interface Converter-Shortwave (GBIC-SW) module must be installed at both ends of a Fibre Channel cable. One GBIC-SW module is installed into each Fibre Host Adapter, each active port on a Fibre Channel SAN Switch, FC-AL Switch, or Storage Hub, and each RA4000 Array Controller. GBIC-SW modules provide 100 MB/second performance. Fibre Channel cables connected to these modules can be up to 500 meters in length. Fibre Channel Cables Shortwave (multi-mode) fibre optic Fibre Channel cables are used to connect the Fibre Host Adapters, Storage Hubs or FC-AL Switches, and RA4000/RA4100 Arrays in a PDC/O1000 cluster.
