Cluster Consolidation Configurations
With Dell OpenManage Storage Consolidation 3.0 software, you can partition a
PowerVault 65xF storage system into multiple disjoint storage systems, each with
one or multiple logical unit numbers (LUNs), and assign each storage system to a two-
node MSCS cluster. Configurations with multiple two-node MSCS clusters are
referred to as cluster consolidation configurations. These configurations require a Dell
PowerVault SAN, Dell OpenManage Storage Consolidation 3.0 or later software, the
QLogic Fibre Channel configuration utility, and Fibre Channel switch zoning. Example
configurations and procedures are covered in the following sections. See “Installing
QLogic Fibre Channel Configuration Utility,” found later in this document, for informa-
tion on installing QLConfig.
