HP Cluster Platform Introduction v2010 - Topology 1; Topology 2; Topology 3

Figure 2-1 shows a head node on a public and private network with compute nodes on the private
network only. This topology is referred to as Two-Network Topology and is supported by HP
Cluster Platform and HP Cluster Platform Express. See Figure 2-6 (page 15).

Figure 2-3 shows the head node on a public and private network with the compute nodes on the
private network only with a second private network for MPI. This topology is referred to as
Three-Network Topology and is supported by HP Cluster Platform and HP Cluster Platform
Express. See Figure 2-7 (page 16).
