Other Notes

Configuration notes.
.. Two nodes. Each node is an rp5470 and contains:
.. 4cpus, 16GB ram, 2 FC controllers, 2 Gigabit NICs
.. Each node has 2 virtual IP addresses. One is for
.. network #1 and the other is for network #2
.. The cluster has MC Service Guard installed and
.. enables automatic, transparent failover. The
.. nodes are in an active-active configuration.
.. Each node has 2 fibre channel controllers. One
.. is connected to FC switch #1, the second is
.. connected to FC switch #2. Each VA7400 has 2 FC ports.
.. One port is connected to FC switch #1 and the second is
.. connected to FC switch #2. All filesystems/LUNs can
.. be directly accessed by either node.
.. VA7400 contains: 42 disks, 1 GB NVram, 2 FC ports.
.. VA7400 is using RAID 0/1.
.. Each VA7400 has 8 LUNs. LUNs 1,2,3,4 are striped across 21 disks.
.. LUNs 5,6,7,8 are striped across the other 21 disks in the array.
System tuneables.
