REJOYCE !!!
Its happened !!! I was finally able to aquire all the bits and pieces
required to build a fully redundant high-availablility cluster !!! 2 x PL6400R 4 x PIII Xeon 500/1M 4GB EDO memory 4x 18GB Ultra3 drives SA5300/64 2x 66Mhz/64Bit StorageWorks Fibre Cards NC3131 Intel Pro100 Fully Redundant Fans 2x 500W powersupplys Compaq StorageWorks 16 Port Fibre Switch (brocade silkworm II 16port switch) Fibre Channel Disk Storage Systems 2x RA4100 FibreChannel 2x RA4000/4100 RAID Controllers HA500/F StorageWorks Software package (for HBA Failover) At last ... my SQL 2000 / Exchange 2003 Active / Active cluster can be given LIFE !!!!! Sigh ... Daddy is happy ! - LC |

You've got one more than I have (albeit you've got a bit more RAM than I do in my 6400R, Fibre cards, + SA5300) Compaq StorageWorks 16 Port Fibre Switch (brocade silkworm II 16port switch) Fibre Channel Disk Storage Systems 2x RA4100 FibreChannel 2x RA4000/4100 RAID Controllers So.. How much faster is using a setup like this (if any) over using a dedicated 4214 or similar -- is this mostly for situations where you've got multiple machines all plugged into the same disk-farm and doesn't really buy you much beyond that? -- Rick |

Shared storage is required for clustering. I "could" use a shared SCSI system, but I dont like shared SCSI and it isnt as scalable as a fibre based system. -- Rick |

Yes, if you are only ever going to have 1 system running, your setup is fine. I'll have to admit that your setup sounds pretty sweet, but I know if I had all that stuff that my wife would probably divorce me!

Is that how you spell it: REJOYCE?
It doesn't look right. Shouldn't a data center have a little space free for a spell checker? |
