Cluster Consolidation Configurations

With Dell OpenManage Storage Consolidation 3.0 software, you can partition a PowerVault 65xF storage system into multiple disjoint storage systems, each with one or multiple logical unit numbers (LUNs), and assign each storage system to a two- node MSCS cluster. Configurations with multiple two-node MSCS clusters are referred to as cluster consolidation configurations. These configurations require a Dell PowerVault SAN, Dell OpenManage Storage Consolidation 3.0 or later software, the QLogic Fibre Channel configuration utility, and Fibre Channel switch zoning. Example configurations and procedures are covered in the following sections. See “Installing QLogic Fibre Channel Configuration Utility,” found later in this document, for informa- tion on installing QLConfig.
