Figure 1-14 shows a configuration with five MSCS clusters sharing a single PowerVault 65xF storage system. These five MSCS clusters also share the two PowerVault 130T tape libraries through the SAN with the use of the PowerVault 35F Fibre Channel bridge. This configuration requires two PowerVault 56F, 16-port Fibre Channel switches and the creation of five zones. Each zone contains an individual two-node MSCS cluster (both servers), the Fibre Channel-to-SCSI bridge, and the PowerVault 65xF storage system.
