Attaching Your Cluster Shared Storage System in a Direct-

Attach Configuration

This section provides the rules and guidelines for attaching your NAS cluster nodes to the shared

storage system using a direct connection (without Fibre Channel switches).

In a direct-attach configuration, both cluster nodes are connected directly to the storage system.

Rules and Guidelines

The following rules and guidelines described in Table 1-3 apply to direct-attached clusters.

PCI Buses

PCI/PCI-X bus 1: PCI slot 1 is

64 bit, 33/66/100 MHz.

PCI/PCI-X bus 1: PCI slot 2 is

64 bit, 33/66/100/133 MHz.

PCI/PCI-X bus 2: PCI slot 3 is

64 bit, 33/66/100/133 MHz.

NOTE:

PCI/PCI-X slot 1 must be

empty for PCI/PCI-X slot 2 to

attain an operating speed of

133 MHz.

Description

Each cluster can support up to 22 unique drive letters for shared

logical drives.

Only one storage system can be direct-attached to the cluster.

Emulex LP9002L, Emulex LP982 or LP9802, or QLogic QLA2340.

Storport miniport driver 5-1.00a15 or later.

Storport miniport driver 8.2.2.20 or later.

Each direct-attached cluster must run Windows Storage Server 2003,

Enterprise Edition.

2.04.0 or later; however, version 2.04.1 (EMC Access Logix™ enabled)

or later is required if two clusters or a mix of clustered and

nonclustered hosts are direct-attached to the CX600.

HBA

For dual HBA

configurations, Dell

recommends installing the

HBAs on separate PCI buses

to balance the load on the

system.

RAID Controller

Install in any

available PCI slot,

or use the

integrated RAID

controller on the

system board.
