Cluster configurations can contain a mixture of Superdome and non-Superdome nodes.
61
Care must be taken to configure an even or greater number of nodes outside of the Superdome
cabinet
62
If half the nodes of the cluster are within a Superdome cabinet, a cluster lock is required (4-node
maximum cluster size)
63
If more than half the nodes of a cluster are outside the Superdome cabinet, no cluster lock is
required (16-node maximum Serviceguard cluster size).
64
Up to a 4 node cluster is supported within a single cabinet system (Superdome 16-processor or
Superdome PA 8800/PA 8900 32-processor)
65
Up to an 8 node cluster is supported within a single cabinet system* (Superdome 32-processor or
Superdome PA 8800/PA 8900 64-processor)
66
Up to a 16 node cluster is supported within a dual cabinet system* (Superdome 64-processor or
Superdome PA 8800/PA 8900 128-processor core)
67
Cluster lock is required for 2-node configurations
68
Cluster lock must be powered independently of the cabinet.
69
Root volume mirrors must be on separate power circuits.
70
Dual power connected to independent power circuits is highly recommended.

Superdome servers, by default, provide an additional power supply for N+1 protection. As a result,
Superdome servers will continue to operate in the event of a single power supply failure. The failed
power supply can be replaced without taking the system down.
