Architecture of the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 1-7 Compaq ProLiant Servers Compaq industry standard servers are a primary component of all models of Compaq ProLiant Clusters. At the high end of the ProLiant server line, several high availability and manageability features are incorporated as a standard part of the server feature set. These include online backup processors, a PCI bus with hot-plug capabilities, redundant hot-pluggable fans, redundant processor power modules, redundant Network Interface Controller (NIC) support, dual-ported hot-pluggable 10/100 NICs and redundant hot-pluggable power supplies (on most high-end models). Many of these features are available at the low end and mid range of the Compaq ProLiant server line, as well. Compaq has logged thousands of hours testing multiple models of Compaq servers in clustered configurations and has successfully passed the Microsoft Cluster Certification Test Suite on numerous occasions. In fact, Compaq was the first vendor to be certified using a shared storage subsystem connected to ProLiant servers through Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop technology.

Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000
Storage System
Microsoft Cluster Server (MSCS) is based on a cluster architecture known as
shared storage clustering
, in which clustered servers share access to a
common set of hard drives. MSCS requires all clustered (shared) data to be
stored in an external storage system.
The Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 storage system is the shared
storage system for the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200. The
storage system consists of the following components and options:
■
Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000
■
Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub (7- or 12-port)
■
Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 Controllers
■
Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Host Adapters
