Local and Multihost Disks in a Sun Cluster

Two sets of storage devices reside within a cluster: local disks and multihost disks.

• Local disks are directly connected to a single node and hold the Solaris operating environment for each node.

• Multihost disks are connected to more than one node and hold client application data and other files that need to be accessed from multiple nodes.

For more conceptual information on multihost disks and local disks, see the Sun Cluster 3.0 12/01 Concepts document.
