Compaq SANworks Secure Path for Windows 2000
on RAID Array 4000/4100
Compaq SANworks Secure Path is a software component that works in
conjunction with the Windows 2000 Advanced Server operating system and
the Windows NT file system (NTFS). Secure Path increases the availability of
both single-server and clustered systems that use the Compaq StorageWorks
RA4000/4100 storage system and Compaq ProLiant servers. Secure Path can
detect failures in the host bus adapter, array controller or other Fibre Channel
Arbitrated Loop components.
When such a failure occurs, I/O processing is rerouted through a redundant
path, allowing applications to continue processing. This rerouting is
transparent to Windows 2000 Advanced Server. Therefore, in an HA/F200
configuration, it is not necessary for MSCS to fail resources over to the other
node. Secure Path, in combination with redundant hardware components, is
the basis for the enhanced high availability features of the HA/F200 running
Windows NTS/E.
Two licenses of Secure Path are included in your Compaq ProLiant Cluster
HA/F200 Cluster Kit. Secure Path is licensed on a per server basis and can be
purchased separately or in the cluster kit.
For more information about installing Secure Path in a Compaq ProLiant
Cluster HA/F200, see Chapter 3 of this guide. For detailed information about
the Secure Path software, refer to the Secure Path documentation included in
your cluster kit.
Compaq Cluster Verification Utility
CCVU is a software utility that can be used to validate several key aspects of
the Compaq ProLiant Cluster HA/F100 and HA/F200 and their components.
The stand-alone utility can be run from either of the cluster nodes or remotely
from a network client attached to the cluster. When CCVU is run remotely, it
can validate any number of Windows NTS/E and Windows 2000 Advanced
Server clusters to which the client is attached.
