B2BITS® Cluster Solution (CentOS Linux)
Hardware and Software Technologies
Cluster solution implements the following hardware and software technologies:
Clustering technology based on the RHCS software in the CentOS 5 Enterprise Linux Server
operating system.
PERC 4/DC card or PERC 4e/DC card.
Storage management software.
Clustering Technology
Clustering is the technology that allows connecting multiple servers together to achieve higher
availability and performance. RHCS is a software component in CentOS 5 Enterprise Linux Server,
which provides failover support for applications and services running on each node.
Cluster Components
Two Dell 1850 PowerEdge systems in a homogeneous pair.
One PowerVault 220S storage system with dual EMMs and split-bus module.
Supported network adapters for a public and private LANs.
Support for RAID 1, 5, 1+0, and 5+0 levels and hot spare drives. RAID 5 is recommended
level.
NOTE: RAID 0 and independent drives are possible but are not recommended for a high-availability
system because they do not offer data redundancy if a disk failure occurs.
Two PERC 4e/DC adapters for the cluster‟s shared storage.
Ethernet network adapter or integrated network adapter for node-to-node cluster
communications.
Ethernet crossover or straight cable for node-to-node cluster interconnects.
