HP MC/ServiceGuard for Linux Cluster Configuration Guide Introduction This document defines the server cluster configurations supported by Hewlett-Packard for interconnection of specified HP IA-32 Servers and HP Rack Storage/12 disk drive enclosure(s), Surestore Virtual Array or Surestore XP disk arrays with HP MC/ServiceGuard for Linux high availability clustering middleware. These configurations provide high server cluster availability and minimize single points of failure (SPOFs). A configuration certified and supported by Hewlett-Packard should be adhered to. Deviations from the supported configurations can result in an inoperative cluster, an operating cluster with degraded performance, or hidden SPOFs. Therefore, deviations are not supported. What's new? • MC/ServiceGuard for NAS 8000 • Disaster Tolerant Solution for Linux • 8-node FibreChannel configuration support • New IA-32 Server: TC4100 • New storage: VA7400, XP128, XP1024 • Autopath support Cluster Configuration Elements This section idetifies the hardware components, system software, network interfaces, and power distribution arrangement required to build an operational server cluster supported by Hewlett-Packard. The various server cluster elements are listed below, and their associated configuration data is detailed in separate tables and illustrations that follow. System Software • MC/ServiceGuard for Linux • ServiceGuard Distributed Components Hardware Components • Servers (For cluster and Quorum Server) • Storage & storage switch Configurations • • Power distribution SCSI FibreChannel MC/ServiceGuard for Linux Description Multi-Computer/ServiceGuard (MC/ServiceGuard) for Linux is a specialized facility for protecting mission critical applications from hardware and software failures. With MC/ServiceGuard for Linux, multiple nodes (systems) are organized into a cluster that is capable of delivering highly available application
