13 Cluster Resources

A ServerNet cluster is built using one of several topologies. The hardware resources in a cluster differ depending on
the topology of the ServerNet cluster.

ServerNet clusters using one of the

star topologies

are built with the HP NonStop Cluster Switch (model 6770) and

can support up to 24 nodes.

ServerNet clusters using the

layered topology

are built around the HP NonStop ServerNet Switch (model 6780) and

can support up to 64 nodes.
