2-6 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide For further information, refer to these manuals provided with each Fibre Channel SAN Switch: I Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch 8 Installation and Hardware Guide I Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch 16 Installation and Hardware Guide I Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel SAN Switch Management Guide provided with the Fibre Channel SAN Switch Storage Hub Storage Hubs are installed between cluster nodes and shared storage subsystems in clusters to create redundant Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loops. Storage Hubs connect the host adapters in cluster nodes with the HSG80 Array Controllers in MA8000/EMA12000 Storage Subsystems. From two to four Storage Hubs are used in each redundant FC-AL of a PDC/O5000. Using two or more Storage Hubs provides fault tolerance and supports the redundant architecture implemented by the PDC/O5000. You can use either the Storage Hub 7 (with 7 ports) or the Storage Hub 12 (with 12 ports). Using the Storage Hub 7 may limit the size of the PDC/O5000. For more detailed information, refer to Chapter 4, "Cluster Planning," in this guide. Refer to the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 7 Installation Guide and the Compaq StorageWorks Fibre Channel Storage Hub 12 Installation Guide for further information about the Storage Hubs. KGPSA-BC and KGPSA-CB Host Adapter Each redundant Fibre Channel Fabric or redundant FC-AL contains a dedicated set of KGPSA-BC or KGPSA-CB Host Adapters in every cluster node. Each host adapter in a node should be connected to a different Fibre Channel SAN Switch or Storage Hub. If the cluster contains multiple redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics or multiple redundant FC-ALs, then host adapters cannot be shared between them. Each redundant Fibre Channel Fabric or redundant FC-AL must have its own set of host adapters installed in each cluster node.
