2-26 Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 Administrator Guide Capacity Planning Capacity planning determines how much computer hardware is needed to support the applications and data on your clustered servers. Unlike conventional, single-server capacity planning, clustered configurations must ensure that each node is capable of running any applications or services that may fail over from its partner node. To simplify the following discussion, the software running on each of the clustered nodes is divided into three generic categories: s Operating system s Nonclustered applications and services s Clustered applications and services Data for Node1 Clustered Applications & Services Data for Node2 Clustered Applications & Services Shared Storage Operating System Clustered Applications & Services Non-Clustered Applications & Services Operating System Clustered Applications & Services Non-Clustered Applications & Services Node1 Node2 Figure 2-15.

Capacity Planning
Capacity planning determines how much computer hardware is needed to
support the applications and data on your clustered servers. Unlike
conventional, single-server capacity planning, clustered configurations must
ensure that each node is capable of running any applications or services that
may fail over from its partner node. To simplify the following discussion, the
software running on each of the clustered nodes is divided into three generic
categories:
Operating system
Nonclustered applications and services
Clustered applications and services
Operating System
Clustered Applications
& Services
Non-Clustered

For each server, determine the processor, memory, and disk storage
requirements needed to support its operating system and nonclustered
applications and services.
