Failover Configuration

The failover configuration allows DX6000G CFS servers to be deployed in pairs so that if one server

fails, the share can be recovered by the other CFS to minimize recovery time. In this configuration,

the CFS servers utilize iSCSI storage to store spooled data.

Hardware

This configuration consists of the following hardware:

 (2) DX6000G Cluster File Servers

o Chassis: Up to four Hot-Plug Hard Drives, LCD diagnostics

o Processor(s): 2 x E5620, 2.4GHz 12M Cache, Turbo, HT, 1066MHz Max Mem

o Memory Configuration: 24GB Memory (6x4GB), 1066MHz Dual Ranked RDIMMs for

Processors, Optimized

o HDD Configuration: RAID 1 configuration; internal drives in RAID 1 for OS and

application; spooled data and namespace stored on iSCSI

o Primary Controller: SAS 6.iR SAS internal RAID adapter for Hot Plug Configuration, PCI-

Express

o Hard Drives: (2) 500GB 7.2K RPM Near-Line SAS 3.5in HDD

o PSU: 500Watt Redundant power supplies

o Embedded Management: iDRAC6 Enterprise

o Network Adapter: Broadcom NetXtreme II 5709 Gigabit NIC w/TOE & iSOE, Quad Port,

Copper, PCIe-4

o DVD-ROM Drive

o Operating System: RHEL 6 X64 Basic with 3 Year Subscription

 (1) iSCSI Storage: MD3200i

o Controllers: Dual controller option

o Hard Drives: Up to 12 3.5-inch HDD, 500GB near-line SAS 6GB, 7.2K, 3.5in HDD

o HDD Configuration: RAID5

Network

For a failover configuration, the iSCSI storage can be on its own switch isolated from the DX Storage

Cluster or it can be attached to the DX Cluster network. In cases where iSCSI storage is attached to the

DX Cluster network, ports 2 thru 5 can be shared between the iSCSI storage and DX Storage Cluster. In

this configuration, Dell recommends configuring network ports for adaptive load balancing, but sites
