1.3.1 Hardware Configuration
A typical HP SFS system configuration consists of the base rack only that contains:
•
ProLiant DL380 MetaData Servers (MDS), administration servers, and Object Storage Servers
(OSS)
•
HP MSA2212fc or MSA2312fc enclosures
•
Management network ProCurve Switch
•
SAN switches
•
InfiniBand or 10 GigE switches
•
Keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch
•
TFT console display
All DL380 file system servers must have their eth0 Ethernet interfaces connected to the ProCurve
Switch making up an internal Ethernet network. The iLOs for the DL380 servers should also be
connected to the ProCurve Switch, to enable Heartbeat failover power control operations. HP
recommends at least two nodes with Ethernet interfaces be connected to an external network.
DL380 file system servers using HP SFS G3.2-0 must be configured with mirrored system disks
to protect against a server disk failure. Use the ROM-based HP ORCA Array Configuration utility
to configure mirrored system disks (RAID 1) for each server by pressing F8 during system boot.

The MDS server, administration server, and each pair of OSS servers have associated HP MSA
enclosures.
