∙Communication between the Servers and the External Storage Box

The communication between the two cluster nodes and the external storage box takes place via shared SCSI bus. DIGITAL Server Cluster Kits include two Adaptec 2944UW ultra wide SCSI adapters, which also support the non-ultra cabinets. Each kit contains two, 5M wide-differential SCSI cables to create these communication links. Also included are Y cables and a differential SCSI terminator for external termination of all elements on the SCSI bus. The Y cable allows for the easy removal and replacement of a failed server without affecting the uptime of the cluster and its users.

∙Private Network Connection between Cluster Nodes

Although the two cluster nodes can communicate over the LAN, a private network connection between the nodes is utilized for redundancy, allowing the cluster nodes to continue communications in the event of LAN failure. This removes the possibility of unnecessary failovers due to network problems. The DIGITAL Server Cluster Kits include two FR-DE500-BA 100/10Mbit PCI 10BaseT Ethernet controllers. A crossover twisted pair cable is also provided to complete the connection.

∙Software

DIGITAL Server Cluster Kits, which support both DCNT and MSCS, include the following software:

DCNT

DCNT v1.1 SP1 is included in the RA450 Cluster Kits only. DCNT v1.1 SP2 is now available for download on http://www.windows.digital.com.
