Local Mounted Cluster Drive
A Local Mounted Cluster Drive is a host drive on a clustering I/O channel. This host drive is
mounted on the selected Intel RAID Controller SRCMR on a local server.
Clustering means that two or more servers share resources. If one server fails its resources move to
another valid server. The hard disks used for clustering are physically connected not with just one
Intel RAID Controller SRCMR, but with several Intel RAID Controller SRCMRs in different
servers (shared I/O channels).
Only one server can own a host drive at the same time, so a host drive configured for clustering
may either be controlled by the selected Intel RAID Controller SRCMR (for example, local
mounted) or by a different Intel RAID Controller SRCMR (for example, remote mounted). You
may only change the configuration of a local mounted host drive.
Remote Mounted Cluster Drive
A Remote Mounted Cluster Drive is a host drive on a clustering I/O channel. This host drive is
mounted on an Intel RAID Controller SRCMR in a different server.
Clustering means that two or more servers share resources. If one server fails its resources move to
another valid server. The hard disks used for clustering are physically not connected with just one
Intel RAID Controller SRCMR, but with several Intel RAID Controller SRCMRs in different
servers (shared I/O channels).
Only one server can own a host drive at the same time, so a host drive configured for clustering
may either be controlled by the selected Intel RAID Controller SRCMR (for example, local
mounted) or by a different Intel RAID Controller SRCMR (for example, remote mounted). You
may only change the configuration of a local mounted host drive.
