ProLiant Cluster F500 for the Enterprise SAN |
|
The ProLiant Cluster F500 for the Enterprise SAN is designed to assist in simplifying the configuration of cluster solutions that provide the highest level of data and applications availability in the Windows Operating System environment through clustering to provide no-single-point-of-failure. It has also been tested to support Disaster Tolerant cluster solutions in which the nodes can be up to 100 Km apart through the use of switch fabric, dark fibre or ATM links, and StorageWorks Continuous Access Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) software option, purchased as part of the storage subsystem. This configuration can also take advantage of the cluster in that the nodes can fail over from the local site to the remote site, and provide for Disaster Recovery in a matter of minutes not hours or days. |

ProLiant Cluster Starter Kit (optional) |
| The ProLiant Cluster Starter kit is a ProLiant
cluster "How-to Guide", that includes documentation for ProLiant
Clusters that use StorageWorks Modular Storage Array 1500 (MSA1500 cs),StorageWorks
Modular Storage Array 1000 (MSA1000), RAID Array 4100 (RA4100), Enterprise
Virtual Array 5000 (EVA5000), Enterprise Virtual Array 3000 (EVA3000), MA8000/EMA12000/EMA16000.
The kit also includes multimedia with animation to illustrate the actual
components required to build a Fibre Channel Cluster & two 30-day trial
licenses of HP OpenView Storage Mirroring. The Starter kit provides instructions
and checklist for EVA 4000/6000/8000 support for Microsoft Windows 2000
and Windows 2003 multi-path support via Microsoft MPIO. NOTE: This Kit does not include Secure Path Software. |

| ProLiant Cluster F500 for the Enterprise SAN |
The ProLiant Cluster F500 for the Enterprise SAN is a cluster kit that supports high end or high density ProLiant servers, StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Array 5000 and 3000 or Modular Array 8000 (MA8000/EMA12000/EMA16000) storage systems and a Windows cluster capable operating system. The hardware components are connected by a Fibre Channel infrastructure. The server nodes are connected together via a dedicated Ethernet connection for heartbeat monitoring. The Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition operating system manages the failover at the application level in the case of failure. Clients are connected to the servers via a network connection, and see the servers as a single system image. High availability is achieved as the servers in the
network take over for each other in the event of hardware or software failure.
The ProLiant Cluster F500 for the Enterprise SAN solution can be configured with
no-single-point-of-failure. This is accomplished through the use of dual server
to storage connectivity (two HBAs per server, two switches and dual RAID controllers
in the storage subsystem), and the installation of HP StorageWorks Secure Path
software in the servers to manage the HBA failover. |
