Site Planning Checklist
Site Planning for ftServer 2500, 4400, and 6200 Systems
1-5
dedicated for the virtual machines or VMkernel traffic,
depending on your requirements.
Planning for External Storage Options
❏
Will your system connect to external Fibre Channel storage enclosures? If so, the
system requires a pair of Fibre Channel HBAs, which are provided when you order
the storage enclosure. If you order the enclosure at the same time you order the
system, the required Fibre Channel HBAs are installed at the factory. See the
Stratus ftServer Systems: Peripherals Site Planning Guide
(R582) for descriptions
of the storage enclosures provided by Stratus and the names of the PCI adapters
required for supported storage enclosures.
N O T E S
1. An ftServer system that runs the Linux operating
system supports ftScalable™ Storage systems,
EMC
®
CLARiiON
®
or Symmetrix
®
storage systems,
and HP StorageWorks Enterprise Virtual Arrays
(EVAs).
2. An ftServer system that runs the Windows operating
system or VMware ESX software supports
ftScalable Storage systems and EMC CLARiiON and
Symmetrix storage systems.
❏
Will your system connect to external Fibre Channel storage enclosures in a storage
area network (SAN) configuration? If so, do you have a minimum of two switches
that can accommodate the cables from the pair of Fibre Channel HBAs in each
ftServer system?
N O T E
Stratus has successfully tested the Brocade 200E and
5100 Fibre Channel switches. Other switches may also be
compatible as long as they can be configured in the same
manner as the Brocade 200E or 5100 switch.
❏
Will your ftServer system running ftSSS for VMware vSphere connect to external
iSCSI storage enclosures? If so, ensure that your system has adequate Ethernet
adapter bandwidth. Contact your account representative for information about
qualifying iSCSI storage systems for use with ftServer systems.
Planning for Optional Components
❏
Will you supply your own monitor
or will Stratus supply the monitor, keyboard, and
mouse? Is the monitor rack-mountable or do you need to provide a table or desk?
