26 Cabling Your Cluster Hardware
Cabling a Cluster to a Dell PowerVault MD36
x
0f Storage System
Each cluster node attaches to the storage system using two Fibre optic cables
with duplex local connector (LC) multimode connectors that attach to the
HBA ports in the cluster nodes and the MD36x0f RAID controller module
ports in the MD36x0f storage system. These connectors consist of two
individual Fibre optic connectors with indexed tabs that must be aligned
properly into the HBA ports and the MD36x0f RAID controller module.
CAUTION: Do not remove the connector covers until you are ready to insert the
connectors into the HBA port, MD36
x
0f RAID controller module port, or tape library
port.
