4 Chapter Upgrading the HA/F100 to an HA/F200 Preinstallation Overview The difference between the Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 and the HA/F200 is the addition of a dual redundant loop. This redundant loop provides the HA/F200 cluster with no single points of failure in the connection between the servers and the storage subsytem(s). Adding this loop to an existing HA/F100 configuration requires the following: s One additional Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 Controller (array controller) per storage subsystem s One additional Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub s One additional Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter (host bus adapter) per server s Compaq Redundancy Manager (Fibre Channel) software s Appropriate firmware and drivers If you already have a Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 up and running, you do not need to repeat the installation of those hardware components described in Chapter 3. However, the upgrade from the HA/F100 to the HA/F200 will require the addition of the dual redundant loop hardware components, the Redundancy Manager software and updated Windows NT device drivers and firmware. These additional steps are described in Chapter 4.

Upgrading the HA/F100 to an HA/F200
Preinstallation Overview
The difference between the Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 and the
HA/F200 is the addition of a dual redundant loop. This redundant loop
provides the HA/F200 cluster with no single points of failure in the connection
between the servers and the storage subsytem(s).
Adding this loop to an existing HA/F100 configuration requires the following:
■
One additional Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 Controller (array
controller) per storage subsystem
■
One additional Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub
■
One additional Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapter
(host bus adapter) per server
■
Compaq Redundancy Manager (Fibre Channel) software
■
Appropriate firmware and drivers
If you already have a Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 up and running, you
do not need to repeat the installation of those hardware components described
in Chapter 3. However, the upgrade from the HA/F100 to the HA/F200 will
require the addition of the dual redundant loop hardware components, the
Redundancy Manager software and updated Windows NT device drivers and
firmware. These additional steps are described in Chapter 4.
