Nodes

Nodes or cluster nodes refer to the PowerVault NX1950 storage systems that

are members of the cluster. The PowerVault NX1950 storage solution supports

a multiple-node cluster.

The cluster resources are physical or logical entities with the following

characteristics:

•

Can be brought online/offline

•

Can be managed within a cluster

•

Can be hosted by one node within the cluster

Examples of resources are Network Name, IP addresses, services, applications,

and disk storage. During cluster failover, only the cluster resources failover to

another node.

The PowerVault NX1950 cluster solution supports cluster resources and you

can use the cluster administration tools to configure them. For more

information about cluster administration tools, see "Cluster Administration

and Management" on page 12.

A resource group is a group of resources (IP addresses, disk storage) that can

failover as a unit. An example of a resource group is a Highly-Available Server

Instance.
