Chapter 2: Cabling the RAID Subsystem Cluster Components
This chapter describes the procedures for cabling a RAID subsystem to two HP
host servers based on the cluster (SCSI) layout option selected in
Chapter 1
of
this guide. (Reference Appendix A if clustering more than two hosts or more
than one RAID subsystem). It provides detailed illustrations of the cabling and
termination required to support HD68-pin SCSI host adapter compatibility, and
the use of a SCSI hub.
Chapter 3: Software Setup Requirements for a Cluster
This chapter summarizes and describes, in sequence, each of the software setups
required to establish a cluster environment between multiple HP-UX host servers
and a shared RAID storage subsystem. It explains how to access, invoke and
interact with the SWCC Failover Transition Module Installation Script, which
automatically configures the cluster for the seamless failover of the
StorageWorks Command Console RAID Manager agent in the event of a server
shutdown.
Appendix A: Cabling and Termination Required to Expand a Cluster
An expanded cluster is one in which more than two host servers are connected to
a RAID subsystem on the same SCSI bus, or where a second RAID subsystem is
added to the cluster on a separate SCSI bus. Appendix A provides the hardware
cabling and termination, and highlights the software configurations required to
expand a cluster.
Appendix B: De-Installing the SWCC Failover Transition Module
This appendix describes how to reverse the installation of the StorageWorks
Command Console Failover Transition Module (agent) within a cluster.
