Designing the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200 2-19 HA/F100 Fibre Channel Data Paths The Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 storage system (formerly Compaq Fibre Channel storage system) is the mechanism with which ProLiant Clusters implement shared storage. Generally, the storage system consists of Compaq StorageWorks Host Adapters (host bus adapters) in each server, a Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub, a Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 Controller (array controller), and a Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 into which the SCSI disks are placed. The RA4000 storage system has two distinct data paths, separated by the storage hub: s The first data path runs from the host bus adapters in the servers to the storage hub. s The second data path runs from the storage hub to the RA4000. The effects of a failure will vary depending on whether the failure occurred on the first or second data path.
