Number of Switches in cluster = 1
4
Three- or four-node cluster – striped, set
Number of Switches in cluster = 2
Section 4 – Number of Direct Links
Specify the number of unswitched node-to-node connections your cluster has. Again,
this will depend on which topology you implement, as follows:
4
Two-node cluster – nonstriped, set
Number of Direct Links in cluster =
1
4
Two-node cluster – striped, set
Number of Direct Links in cluster =
2
4
Three- or four-node cluster – either nonstriped or striped, set
Number of Direct Links in cluster =
0
Section 5 – Number of Ring Connections
Ring connections are not supported by Sun HPC ClusterTools 3.0 software.
Therefore, always specify
