11.5.1.3
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 ICP RAID controller in a different server.
Note:
Refer to the accompanying Hardware Guide to determine if clustering is supported on this
ICP RAID controller product.
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 ICP RAID controller, but with several ICP RAID controllers 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 ICP RAID controller (for example,
local mounted) or by a different ICP RAID controller (for example, remote mounted). You
may only change the configuration of a local mounted host drive.
11.5.1.4
Private Host Drive Belonging To Another ICP RAID Controller
This is a host drive on a clustering I/O channel. This host drive is configured as a private
host drive and does not belong to the selected ICP RAID controller. A private host drive
cannot be used for clustering.
Note:
Refer to the accompanying Hardware Guide to determine if clustering is supported on this
ICP RAID controller product.
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 ICP RAID controller, but with several ICP RAID controllers in
different servers (shared I/O channels).
Usually, when booting a cluster, the ICP RAID controller starting up first will gain control
over all host drives on the clustering I/O channels. If you want to be sure that a host drive
is controlled by a specific server, you may configure this host drive as a private host drive.
A private host drive cannot be used for clustering.
You cannot change the configuration of a private host drive which does not belong to the
array of the selected ICP RAID controller. You must use ICPCON to change its
configuration. A private host drive belonging to the selected ICP RAID controller is
displayed like a normal host drive.
