Architecture of the Compaq ProLiant
Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200
Overview of Compaq ProLiant Clusters
HA/F100 and HA/F200 Components
A cluster is a loosely coupled collection of servers and storage that acts as a
single system, presents a single-system image to clients, provides protection
against system failures, and provides configuration options for static load
balancing.
Clustering is an established technology that may provide one or more of the
following benefits:
Availability
Scalability
Manageability
Investment protection
Operational efficiency

Compaq ProLiant Servers
Compaq industry standard servers are a primary component of all models of
Compaq ProLiant Clusters. At the high end of the ProLiant server line, several
high availability and manageability features are incorporated as a standard part
of the server feature set. These include online backup processors, a PCI bus
with hot-plug capabilities, redundant hot-pluggable fans, redundant processor
power modules, redundant Network Interface Controller (NIC) support,
dual-ported hot-pluggable 10/100 NICs and redundant hot-pluggable power
supplies (on most high-end models). Many of these features are available at
the low end and mid range of the Compaq ProLiant server line, as well.
Compaq has logged thousands of hours testing multiple models of Compaq
servers in clustered configurations and has successfully passed the Microsoft
Hardware Cluster Certification Test Suite on numerous occasions. In fact,
Compaq was the first vendor to be certified using a shared storage subsystem
connected to ProLiant servers through Fibre Channel Arbitrated Loop
technology.
NOTE: Visit the Compaq High Availability website
(http://www.compaq.com/highavailability) to obtain a comprehensive list of
cluster-certified servers.
The Microsoft Cluster Software (MSCS) is based on a cluster architecture
known as shared storage clustering, in which clustered servers share access to
a common set of hard drives. MSCS requires all clustered (shared) data to be
stored in an external storage system.
The Compaq StorageWorks RA4000/4100 storage system is the shared storage
system for the Compaq ProLiant Clusters HA/F100 and HA/F200.
Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 or Compaq
StorageWorks RAID Array 4100
The Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 Compaq StorageWorks RAID
Array 4100 (RA4000/4100) is the storage cabinet that contains the disk drives,
power supplies, and array controllers. The RA4000/4100 supports the same
hot-pluggable drives as Compaq Servers and Compaq ProLiant Storage
Systems, online capacity expansion, online spares, and RAID fault tolerance
of SMART-2 Array Controller technology. The RA4000/4100 also supports
hot-pluggable, redundant power supplies and fans, and hot-pluggable hard
drives.

The HA/F100 and HA/F200 ProLiant Clusters must have at least one
RA4000/4100 set up as an external shared storage. Consult the Order and
Configuration Guide for Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 and HA/F200 at
the Compaq ProLiant Clusters High Availability website
(http://www.compaq.com/highavailability) to determine the maximum supported
cluster configuration.
For more detailed information on the RA400/4100, refer to the following
documents:
Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 User Guide
Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4100 User Guide
Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 Controller
The Compaq StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 Controller (RA4000
Controller) is fully RAID capable and manages all of the drives in the
RA4000/4100 storage array. Each RA4000/4100 is shipped with one controller
installed. In a HA/F100 cluster, each array controller is connected to both
servers through a single Fibre Channel storage hub or FC-AL switch. In a
HA/F200 cluster, the addition of a second Compaq StorageWorks RA4000
Redundant Controller is required to provide redundancy.
These redundant controllers are connected to each server through two separate,
and redundant, Fibre Channel storage hubs or FC-AL switches. This
dual-connection configuration implements a vital aspect of the enhanced high
availability features of the HA/F200 cluster. Each of these components is
discussed in the following sections. For more information, refer to the Compaq
StorageWorks RAID Array 4000 Redundant Array Controller Configuration
Poster.
For more information about shared storage clustering, refer to the Microsoft
clustering documentation.
