Dell SCv3000 Deployment Guide

Connecting to Host Servers with SAS HBAs
An SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system with front-end SAS ports connects directly to host servers with SAS HBAs.
Cable the Storage System with 4-Port SAS HBAs to Host
Servers with One SAS HBA per Server
A storage system with four front-end SAS ports on each storage controller can connect to up to four host servers, if each host server has
one SAS HBA with two ports.
About this task
This conguration includes four fault domains spread across both storage controllers. The storage controllers are connected to each host
server using two SAS connections.
If a storage controller becomes unavailable, all of the standby paths on the other storage controller become active.
Steps
1 Connect fault domain 1 (shown in orange) to host server 1.
a Connect a SAS cable from storage controller 1: port 1 to the SAS HBA on host server 1.
b Connect a SAS cable from storage controller 2: port 1 to the SAS HBA on host server 1.
2 Connect fault domain 2 (shown in blue) to host server 2.
a Connect a SAS cable from storage controller 1: port 2 to the SAS HBA on host server 2.
b Connect a SAS cable from storage controller 2: port 2 to the SAS HBA on host server 2.
3 Connect fault domain 3 (shown in gray) to host server 3.
a Connect a SAS cable from storage controller 1: port 3 to the SAS HBA on host server 3.
b Connect a SAS cable from storage controller 2: port 3 to the SAS HBA on host server 3.
4 Connect fault domain 4 (shown in red) to host server 4.
a Connect a SAS cable from storage controller 1: port 4 to the SAS HBA on host server 4.
b Connect a SAS cable from storage controller 2: port 4 to the SAS HBA on host server 4.
