Connecting to Storage

A campus cluster must include at least two rooms using two independent SANs to connect to the shared storage. See Figure 7–1 for an illustration of this configuration.

If you are using Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC), all nodes that support Oracle RAC must be fully connected to the shared storage devices. Also, all rooms of a specifications-based campus cluster must be fully connected to the shared storage devices.

See Quorum in Clusters With Four Rooms or More for a description of a campus cluster with both direct and indirect storage connections.
