Overview of the HP ProLiant Cluster F100 7

•

Up to five two-node clusters sharing a single MSA1000

A maximum of 20 total nodes in unique clusters, not to exceed five unique

clusters if using two-node clusters

The F100 for MSA1000 has the following guidelines for multiple-cluster setup:

Each two-node cluster must use the same model of ProLiant server.

Each server in a cluster must use the same operating system.

Each two-node cluster can use a different operating system from the other

clusters.

The MSA1000 must have the appropriate firmware. Use the MSAFlash

utility to upgrade the firmware.

The ACU and the HBA drivers must be installed or updated to the supported

versions. Use the HP Modular Smart Array 1000 Support Software CD to

install or upgrade these items.

When cabling multiple clusters, it is important to cable the first HBA of each

cluster node to the first switch.

cluster configuration.
