Two-Room Examples

Figure E-1 depicted a two-room campus cluster using Sun StorEdge T3 partner groups and four Fibre Channel switches. Figure E-4 shows a similar setup with a multipathing solution implemented. The four switches are added to the cluster for greater redundancy and potentially better I/O throughput. This configuration could be implemented using Sun StorEdge T3 partner groups or Sun StorEdge 9910/9960 arrays with Sun StorEdge Traffic Manager software installed.

Figure E-5 is similar to Figure E-1, except that it does not have a multipathing solution implemented. This configuration could be implemented using Sun StorEdge T3/T3+ arrays in single-controller configurations, rather than partner-groups.

Figure E-6 depicts a two-room campus cluster using Sun StorEdge A5x00s. Note the absence of switches.
