Small “MAC Homogenous”StorNext configuration

Example 5. In this example diagram Linux MDC Servers are shown, but only MAC Xsan Clients are shown. DS3400 connected to meshed SAN fabric with a single Fibre Channel switch. For DS3400 configurations, Multiple Fibre Channel switches are not required, but they are recommended. Drawing shows minimal SAN to DS3400 connections to simplify the drawing. However, up to 4 connections are supported. In this example, the Meta data Controllers each have a single dual ported HBA.

RAID 1 pairs for Meta Data and Journal are represented. Global Hot spares would be assigned as appropriate. While SAS drives would be recommended for Meta Data and Journal, SAS and/or SATA drives could be used for data as appropriate.
