The following options are available for PowerEdge Cluster F-Series configurations: • Direct-attached cluster • SAN-attached cluster • Cluster consolidation The following sections provide detailed information and examples for these options. Direct-Attached Cluster In a direct-attached cluster configuration, both nodes of the cluster are directly attached to a single PowerVault 65xF storage system. NOTE: A direct-attached cluster configuration does not require a SAN. Figure 1-1 shows a basic dire

Zoning helps to segment a SAN into logical fabric subsets by setting up barriers between different operating environments, or between a cluster and other servers or clusters. By using switch zoning, you can attach multiple clusters to a SAN. See the Dell PowerVault 5xF Switches Zoning Guide for information on zoning con- cepts and implementations. Figure 1-2 shows an advanced SAN-attached cluster configuration. Public LAN PowerEdge PowerEdge server server cluster interconnect Fibre Channel Fi

SAN-Attached Clusters SAN-attached clusters are cluster configurations in which you cable redundant Fibre Channel HBAs to a redundant Fibre Channel switch fabric. You make the connection to the storage system through the switch fabric. SAN-attached configurations can share certain resources with other servers, storage systems, and backup systems on the SAN. Figure 1-4 shows how a SAN-attached PowerEdge Cluster F-Series configuration uses three networking segments: public network, private ne
