Cabling Your Cluster Hardware 33
Cabling Multiple SAN-Attached Clusters to the CX4-120 or CX4-240
Storage System
1
In the first cluster, connect cluster node 1 to the SAN:
a
Connect a cable from HBA port 0 to Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0).
b
Connect a cable from HBA port 1 to Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1).
2
In the first cluster, repeat step 1 for each additional cluster node.
3
For each additional cluster, repeat step 1 and step 2.
4
Connect the storage system to the SAN:
a
Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0) to the first front-
end fibre channel port on SP-A.
b
Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0) to the first front-
end fibre channel port on SP-B.
c
Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1) to the second
front-end fibre channel port on SP-A.
d
Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1) to the second
front-end fibre channel port on SP-B.
NOTE: Additional cables can be connected from the fibre channel switches to the
storage system if there are available front-end fibre channel ports on the storage
processors.
