RA7000 / ESA10000 High Availability Solution Kit for HP-UX
1–2 EK–HAHPU–MH. B01
NOTES
1. All of the host features that are supported by
the platform kit are also supported in the
RAID/HP cluster environment
2. The installation of a hub requires a 3.5” SSB
slot available in your StorageWorks pedestal
or shelf.
1.2 Inventory the RAID SCSI Connection Kit
Three types of RAID SCSI Connection Kits exist. Each kit supports the
connection of two host servers to a RAID subsystem via a single SCSI bus. To
connect more than two host servers in a cluster, or to add a second RAID
subsystem, additional parts must be ordered (Reference Appendix A for parts
required to expand a cluster). The part numbers and purpose served by each kit is
as follows:
SWXKT-DE
– for connecting the RAID subsystem to servers having
HD68-pin host adapters
SWXKT-DF*
– for connecting the RAID subsystem to servers having
VHDCI (UltraSCSI) host adapters
SWXKT-EA
– for connecting the RAID subsystem through a hub to servers
having either
HD68-pin or VHDCI
host adapters
(both
adapters must be the same type)
*This kit is not applicable to a RAID RA7000 / ESA10000 Cluster for HP-UX
Please verify that the connection kit you have received is specific to your cluster
needs, and use Table 1-2 to inventory its contents. If you are missing any
hardware component required for a cluster, please contact your local sales
representative or call the StorageWorks Hotline at 1-800-STORWORK (786-
7967).
