About This Manual
This manual describes how to set up and maintain the hardware
configuration for a TruCluster Server cluster.
Audience
This manual is for system administrators who will set up and configure the
hardware before installing the TruCluster Server software. The manual
assumes that you are familiar with the tools and methods needed to
maintain your hardware, operating system, and network.
Organization
This manual contains ten chapters and an index. The organization of this
manual has been restructured to provide a more streamlined manual.
Those chapters containing information on SCSI bus requirements and
configuration, and configuring hardware have been split up into two sets of
two chapters each. One set covers the UltraSCSI hardware and is geared
towards radial configurations. The other set covers configurations using
either external termination or radial connection to non-UltraSCSI devices.
A brief description of the contents follows:
Chapter 1 Introduces the TruCluster Server product and provides an overview
of setting up TruCluster Server hardware.
Chapter 2 Describes hardware requirements and restrictions.
Chapter 3 Contains information about setting up a shared SCSI bus, SCSI
bus requirements, and how to connect storage to a shared SCSI
bus using the latest UltraSCSI products (DS-DWZZH UltraSCSI
hubs, HSZ70 and HSZ80 RAID array controllers).
Chapter 4 Describes how to prepare systems for a TruCluster Server
configuration, and how to connect host bus adapters to shared
storage using the DS-DWZZH UltraSCSI hubs and the newest
RAID array controllers (HSZ70 and HSZ80).
Chapter 5 Describes how to set up the Memory Channel cluster interconnect.
Chapter 6 Provides an overview of Fibre Channel and describes how
to set up Fibre Channel hardware.
Chapter 7 Provides information on the use of, and installation of, Asynchronous
Transfer Mode (ATM) hardware.
