Four-Node Cluster With Netra T1 Servers

Following is an example of a hardware configuration for a four-node cluster:

  • Two Netra T1 servers configured as master-eligible nodes

  • Two Netra T1 servers configured as diskless nodes

  • Two Ethernet switches

  • A terminal server to manage the consoles

Six-Node Cluster With Netra CT 410 Servers

Following is an example of a hardware configuration for a six-node cluster:

  • Two Netra CT 410 CompactPCI servers, each fitted with the following:

    • One Netra CP2140 system controller board configured as a master-eligible node

    • Two Netra CP2160 satellite processor boards configured as diskless nodes

    • One alarm card

    • One 18-Gbyte or larger disk per server

  • Two Ethernet switches

  • A terminal server to manage the consoles

  • (Optional) Supplemental PMC Ethernet cards on each CP2140 board to configure the external network of the master-eligible nodes

Eight-Node Cluster With Netra CT 810 Servers

Following is an example of a hardware configuration for an eight-node:

  • Two Netra CT 810 CompactPCI servers, each fitted with the following:

    • One Netra CP2140 system controller board configured as a master-eligible node

    • Three Netra CP2160 satellite processor boards configured as diskless nodes

    • One alarm card

    • Two 18-Gbyte or larger disks per server

  • Two Ethernet switches

  • A terminal server to manage the consoles

  • (Optional) Supplemental PMC Ethernet cards on each CP2140 board to configure the external network of the master-eligible nodes

Twelve-Node Cluster With Netra 20 and Netra 120 Servers

Following is an example of a hardware configuration for a twelve-node cluster:

  • Two Netra 20 servers configured as master-eligible nodes, each fitted with the following:

    • Two Fibre Channel-Arbitrated Loop (FC-AL) disks

      The FC-AL disks must be managed by the volume management feature that is provided in the Solaris operating system. For more information about using FC-AL disks, see Types of Disks

    • Quad-Fast Ethernet (QFE) or Hundred-Megabit Ethernet (HME) cards to configure the cluster network connection

  • 10 Netra 120 servers configured as dataless nodes

  • Two Ethernet switches
