Sun Cluster 3.0-3.1 Hardware Administration Manual for Solaris OS

SPARC: Three-Room Examples

The figures in this section show three-room campus cluster configurations with and without multipathing implementations. Each example configuration follows the campus cluster requirements and design guidelines described in this chapter.


Note –

Configurations include Sun StorEdge A5x00 disk arrays have no FC switches. The SE A5x00 arrays can contain long-wave GBICS, and thus may not require the switches.

Figure 7–6 SPARC: Three-Room Campus Cluster (Sun StorEdge A5x00 as Quorum Device)

Illustration: The preceding and following contexts describe
the graphic.

In Figure 7–6, note the absence of FC switches in Room 3. The storage array connection is made through a Sun StorEdge Dual FC Network Adapter and long-wave GBICs.
