5239.0. "Common system disk on SCSI cluster?" by HGOVC::PATRICKNG () Fri Feb 28 1997 06:35

    Hi,
    
    Is it possible to form a common system disk on two-node SCSI cluster on
    OpenVMS 6.2 1h3 for dual AlphaServer 4100?
    
    Besides clustering software and H/W, what are the requirement for
    setting up a common system disk?
    
    
    Thanks,
    Patrick

	SCSI cluster is OpenVMS cluster, i.e. you use CLUSTER_CONFIG or CLUSTER_CONFIG_LAN to create the second root. i.e. the answer is "Yes, you can form a common system disk", and for a SCSI cluster I reckon this is also the right way to go. Also use a quorum disk on the shared SCSI bus. /cmos

This configuration works and is fully supported -- assuming the use of the appropriate (supported) disks and SCSI controllers... : Besides clustering software and H/W, what are the requirement for : setting up a common system disk? Skimming the Cluster and OpenVMS Software Product Descriptions (SPDs), and skiming the VMScluster manager's manual, and the OpenVMS upgrade and installation manual, the latter manuals in the sections around upgrades and installs in a VMScluster environment. Copies of these manuals are available on-line, on CD-ROM, and in hardcopy.
