OpenVMS FC connect Cluster with 6 ES40

[Song_Charles]

Hi,

My customer's applications will be migrated,
there are 6 ES40s and 1 MA8000 with 1TB disk room, they want put all the storage and servers into one VMS Cluster togather.

for VMS cluster could be support up to 96 nodes, I think it is no problem of this configuration.

My questions:
1.the customer's Environment was 2 Nodes VMScluster with V7.3-1 now, could I still use this version to configurte 6 Nodes VMScluster?

2.All ES40s were the same degree, how would I setup the VMScluster's parameters,
such as NODE_VOTE, EXPECTED_VOTE, QDSKVOTES...

3.I would assign the DISK_QUORUM to the common system boot disk (DGA0) and the disk must be the ODS-5 file system, could the disk be used as QUORUM DISK?

4.The customer's applications were run under ORACLE7/OPS, how about the performance of this VMScluster configuration?

B+R
