1.3.1 Hardware Configuration

A typical HP SFS system configuration consists of the base rack only that contains:

ProLiant DL380 MetaData Servers (MDS), administration servers, and Object Storage Servers
(OSS)

HP MSA2000fc enclosures

Management network ProCurve Switch

SAN switches

InfiniBand or 10 GigE switches

Keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch

TFT console display

All DL380 G5 file system servers must have their eth0 Ethernet interfaces connected to the
ProCurve Switch making up an internal Ethernet network. The iLOs for the DL380 G5 servers
should also be connected to the ProCurve Switch, to enable Heartbeat failover power control
operations. HP recommends at least two nodes with Ethernet interfaces be connected to an
external network.

DL380 G5 file system servers using HP SFS G3.1-0 must be configured with mirrored system
disks to protect against a server disk failure. Use the ROM-based HP ORCA Array Configuration
utility to configure mirrored system disks (RAID 1) for each server by pressing F8 during system
boot. More information is available at:

index.html

The MDS server, administration server, and each pair of OSS servers have associated HP
MSA2000fc enclosures.
