Introduction
Cluster Storage
Table 1-2 lists supported storage systems and the configuration requirements
for the cluster nodes and stand-alone systems connected to the storage
systems.
Table 1-3 lists hardware requirements for the storage processor enclosures (SPE),
disk array enclosures (DAE), and standby power supplies (SPS).
Table 1-2.

Supported storage
systems
One to four supported Dell|EMC storage systems. See
Table 1-3 for specific storage system requirements.
Cluster nodes
All nodes must be directly attached to a single storage
system or attached to one or more storage systems
through a SAN.
Multiple clusters and
stand-alone systems
Can share one or more supported storage systems using
optional software that is available for your storage system.
See "Installing and Configuring the Shared Storage
System" on page 45.
