Configuring Information

DA-10392 North America — Version 57 — March 18, 2003
Each system node in the cluster requires a TruCluster software license
(QL-6BRAE-AA)
Requires a minimum of Tru64 UNIX V4.0F with TruCluster V1.6 or later
Each system node in the cluster requires a TruCluster Production Server
(QB-3RLAE-AA) or TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL software license
(QB-4ZCAE-AA)
TruCluster MEMORY CHANNEL license (QB-4ZCAG-AA), normally used for high
performance technical computing applications, not required if systems include a TruCluster
Production Server license (QB-3RLAE-AA)
OpenVMS V7.2-2 or later and OpenVMS Cluster license (QL-MUZAE-AA) are required
Up to two PCI-to-System Area Network adapters (CCMAB-AA) are supported in a single
system.
Two-node clusters can be configured by ordering a CCMAB-AA for each node and one
BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable; cable connects directly to CCMAB-AA in each node
For a two-node cluster that will not be rebooted when adding additional members, order
one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cable for each node and one
CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster
Two-node clusters can also be configured by ordering two CCMAB-AA adapters for each
node and two BN39B-04 or BN39B-10 cables; cables connect directly to CCMAB-AA in
each node.
For three or four node clusters, order one CCMAB-AA adapter and one BN39B-04 or
BN39B-10 cable for each node, and one CCMHB-AA hub for the cluster If two CCMAB-
AAs are configured in each system, a second CCMHB-AA is required.
CCMHB-AA includes four CCMLB-AA line cards and supports up to four nodes; expansion
up to eight system nodes can be achieved by adding up to four CCMLB-AA line cards.
