Overview The is designed to assist in simplifying the configuration of cluster solutions that provide the highest level of data and applications availability in the Windows Operating System environment through clustering to provide no-single-point-of-failure. It has also been tested to support Disaster Tolerant cluster solutions in which the nodes can be up to 100 Km apart through the use of switch fabric, dark fibre or ATM links, and StorageWorks Continuous Access Enterprise Virtual Array (EVA) software option, purchased as part of the storage subsystem. This configuration can also take advantage of the cluster in that the nodes can fail over from the local site to the remote site, and provide for Disaster Recovery in a matter of minutes not hours or days. ProLiant Cluster Starter Kit (optional) The ProLiant Cluster Starter kit is a ProLiant cluster "How-to Guide", that includes documentation for ProLiant Clusters that use StorageWorks Modular Storage Array 1500 (MSA1500 cs),storageworks Modular Storage Array 1000 (MSA1000), RAID Array 4100 (RA4100), Enterprise Virtual Array 5000 (EVA5000), Enterprise Virtual Array 3000 (EVA3000), MA8000/EMA12000/EMA16000. The kit also includes multimedia with animation to illustrate the actual components required to build a Fibre Channel Cluster & two 30-day trial licenses of HP OpenView Storage Mirroring. The Starter kit provides instructions and checklist for EVA 4000/6000/8000 support for Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows 2003 multi-path support via Microsoft MPIO. NOTE: This Kit does not include Secure Path Software. Disaster Tolerant ProLiant Cluster DA - 11933 Worldwide Version 10 November 12, 2007 Page 1

The hardware components are connected by a Fibre Channel infrastructure. The server nodes are connected together via a dedicated Ethernet connection for heartbeat monitoring. The Microsoft Windows 2000 Advanced Server or Windows Server 2003, Enterprise Edition operating system manages the failover at the application level in the case of failure. Clients are connected to the servers via a network connection, and see the servers as a single system image. High availability is achieved as the servers in the network take over for each other in the event of hardware or software failure. The solution can be configured with no-single-point-of-failure. This is accomplished through the use of dual server to storage connectivity (two HBAs per server, two switches and dual RAID controllers in the storage subsystem), and the installation of HP StorageWorks Secure Path software in the servers to manage the HBA failover. StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA and DRM for the MA8000/EMA12000/EMA16000 (HSG80) are also supported by the. These solutions combine the fail over functionality of MSCS (Microsoft Cluster Server) with the remote data mirroring functionality of StorageWorks Continuous Access EVA or DRM software, and allows for a distance of up to 100 km between the server nodes and up to 100 km between a primary (local) external storage system, and a mirrored (remote) external storage system. The server to storage interconnect is based on Fibre Channel switch, short and long wave fibre interconnect, and the server to server communication is over Ethernet and/or FDDI connections.

MA8000/EMA12000/ EMA16000 Component Information The MA8000/EMA12000/EMA16000 storage systems from HP StorageWorks are high-capacity storage subsystems that support single or redundant RAID controllers, which manage up to 72 disks per controller or controller pair. The use of Fibre Channel switches (FC-Switch), will support four pairs of controllers for a maximum raw storage capacity configuration of 42.05 TB per cluster (4 storage subsystems x 72 drives x 146 GB= 42.05 TB). NOTE: The capacities increase linearly as higher capacity drives are added and supported by the storage subsystems. The dual RAID controllers can also be configured to up to four independent clusters utilizing the switch configuration (FC-Switch). High availability storage components include redundant power supplies, fans, controllers, host bus adapters, cache battery backup, hot global spare drives, and multi-level RAID architecture (0, 1, 3/5, 1+0). High-performance features include 64 MB to 512 MB of Mirrored Write Back Cache memory per controller. The MA8000 ships with 64 MB per controller installed, and the EMA12000/EMA16000 ships with 256 MB per controller installed. Additional memory modules for upgrade to 512 MB can be ordered separately. A unique read-ahead algorithm can boost performance for certain applications by up to 40 percent. Dual host bus adapters, which are static load balanced, can also increase system performance. Disaster Tolerant solutions, through the use of Data Replication Manager (DRM) software, can take advantage of the Fibre Channel switch fabric to implement: (a) Online, real-time local and remote data replication, (b) Data replication to remote site at Fibre Channel speeds (100 MB/s), (c) Synchronous mirroring, (d) Remote site at extended distances (100 Km using the enhanced DT cluster configuration) from production data center, (e) Host independent copy operation, (f) Automatic or manual recovery from site failure.
