Connecting a CLARiiON CX3-10 array
The CLARiiON CX3-10 array requires two SAN ports from each SP to be connected to
the switch or switches. All traffic to the array travels over these connections.
If you are using two switches to connect a CLARiiON CX3-10 array, connect the
cables as shown in Figure 163:

switch ports the array will use in “Step 2: Install latest File OE on CS 0” on page 139.
