HP P4000 G2 3 Cluster configuration

3 Cluster configuration

HP StorageWorks P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateway hardware components are configured in a clustered environment to a P4000 SAN Solution. The P4000 SAN Solution provides iSCSI block services while the P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateway provides data services using CIFS/NFS protocols. The P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateway also supports optional data protection services with tools such as HP Data Protector, Data Protection Manager (DPM), VMWare, and VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB).

The P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateways are clustered and connected to the HP P4000 SAN network segment using standard Ethernet IP switches. Up to eight (8) P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateway nodes can be clustered together.

The following figure shows a complete network infrastructure comprised of two P4000 G2 Unified NAS Gateways connected to a P4000 SAN segment using standard IP switches while also connected to the client network using a standard IP switch. Application servers are also connected the P4000 SAN segment and client network using standard IP switches.
