Dual-Link Full Mesh Topology

  • The Figure 15 illustrates an example of a 3-node cluster configured with a dual-link full mesh storage network interconnect. External network traffic utilizes the LOM/rNDC/OCP integrated network adapter, while storage network traffic utilizes two QLogic FastLinQ 25GbE PCIe adapters per server node. In this case, each clustered node has redundant storage network connectivity to every other node in the cluster.
