Compaq RAID Array 4000 Storage System: Deployment and Configuration 9 Dual Servers/Single Controller Figure 2. RA4000 Storage System with Dual Server/Single Controller Customers who only require a system with a single array controller, may want the flexibility of a system with two servers. Customers migrating from a single server to a server cluster or deploying an entirely new storage system with a dual servers/single controller configuration must: 1. Insert a GBIC into the Fibre Channel Host Adapter. 2. Install the Fibre Channel Host Adapter into the added server or into both servers if the storage system is entirely new. 3. Insert a GBIC into the Fibre Channel Storage Hub. Use a GBIC-SW if the connection to the server is 500 meters or less, or a GBIC-LW if the connection to the server is between 500 meters and 10 kilometers. IMPORTANT: Systems deploying GBIC-SW use 50-micron, multi-mode fiber optic cable. Systems deploying GBIC-LW use 9-micron, single-mode fiber optic cable. 4. Connect a Fibre Channel Storage Hub to the Fibre Channel Host Adapters. 5. Insert a GBIC into the array controller at the RA4000. Use a GBIC-SW if the connection to the hub is 500 meters or less, or a GBIC-LW if the connection to the hub is between 500 meters and 10 kilometers. Note: The necessary GBIC and the appropriate fiber optic cable are determined by individual customer needs and system design. 6. Connect the RA4000 to the Fibre Channel Storage Hub. 7. Run the Compaq Options ROMPaq. It is provided on the Compaq SmartStart and Support Software CD 4.30 or later that is shipped with the Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 and RA4000 Redundant Controller. 0206-0699

RA4000 Storage System with Dual Server/Single Controller
Customers who only require a system with a single array controller, may want the flexibility of a
system with two servers.
Customers migrating from a single server to a server cluster or deploying an entirely new storage
system with a dual servers/single controller configuration must:
1.
Insert a GBIC into the Fibre Channel Host Adapter.
2.
Install the Fibre Channel Host Adapter into the added server or into both servers if the storage
system is entirely new.
3.
Insert a GBIC into the Fibre Channel Storage Hub. Use a GBIC-SW if the connection to the
server is 500 meters or less, or a GBIC-LW if the connection to the server is between
500 meters and 10 kilometers.
IMPORTANT:
Systems deploying GBIC-SW use 50-micron, multi-mode fiber optic cable.
Systems deploying GBIC-LW use 9-micron, single-mode fiber optic cable.
4.
Connect a Fibre Channel Storage Hub to the Fibre Channel Host Adapters.
5.
Insert a GBIC into the array controller at the RA4000. Use a GBIC-SW if the connection to
the hub is 500 meters or less, or a GBIC-LW if the connection to the hub is between
500 meters and 10 kilometers.
Note:
The necessary GBIC and the appropriate fiber optic cable are determined by individual
customer needs and system design.
6.
Connect the RA4000 to the Fibre Channel Storage Hub.
7.
Run the Compaq Options ROMPaq. It is provided on the Compaq SmartStart and Support
Software CD 4.30 or later that is shipped with the Compaq StorageWorks RA4000 and
RA4000 Redundant Controller.
