Planning the Network Configuration

The following sections provide different possible network configurations and

help you plan for the implementation of Dell™ PowerVault™ NX1950 cluster

solution with Dell|EqualLogic

PS Series storage.

Considering the Network Design Structure

Implementing the correct networking infrastructure is essential to

trouble-free operation of your PowerVault NX1950 cluster solution. This

section provides guidelines for designing networks for use with a cluster.

Typically you have a minimum of three networks in use:

•

One or more data networks for applications

— These are referred to as

public networks. A data network can be made redundant using Network

Interface Card (NIC) teaming or by using multiple interfaces on separate

subnets.

•

Heartbeat network

— This is referred to as a private network. NIC teaming

cannot be used on the heartbeat network.

•

Storage area network (SAN)

— The SAN can be made redundant by use of

Microsoft’s multipath I/O (MPIO). Multipath I/O provides more

intelligent, SAN-integrated load balancing capabilities.
