Re: HP P2000 database cluster solution (please help)
Hi,
doesn't HP have sales people that can help with this? =)
The single SAN switch is a SPOF. If you're not going to create a fabric (connect SAN switches together) then most of the license options don't apply (trunking, fabric watch, etc).
For redundancy purposes most people have two SAN switches and dual port FC HBA in the servers. This is for redundancy but also in case of upgrades you can upgrade one fabric without affecting the other one.
HP Storage Options (fc cards) for the 380p Gen8 are in here: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/14212_div/14212_div.HTML#Additional Options
Do you want QLogic, Emulex or Brocade FC HBA? There are some differences between the vendors.
http://h18006.www1.hp.com/storage/saninfrastructure/hba.html for more info.
Think about which types of disks you'll need in the P2000. If high iops is not necessary perhaps that 7200 RPM disks are fine.
Getting good performance out of the P2000 might take some work but it can be done.
When you buy the switch, make sure you get the SFPs as well and 8Gbps SWL SFPs if that's what you want.
LC/LC cables are what you want.
Get a connector cleaner to clean the connectors on the cable.
SAN switch quickspecs (cables and SFPs listed inside): http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13042_div/13042_div.pdf
Notice the length you can go with OM3 at 8Gbps.
