Primary node: connects to your system's backend storage via FC cable.FC port 41
Secondary nodes: connects to your system's backend storage via FC cable.
Primary node: connects to your system's backend storage via FC cable.FC port 32
Secondary nodes: connects to your system's backend storage via FC cable.
Primary node: connects to your system's backup SAN via FC cable.FC port 23
Secondary nodes: connects to your system's backup SAN via FC cable.
Primary node: connects to your system's backup SAN via FC cable.FC port 14
Secondary nodes: connects to your system's backup SAN via FC cable.
Primary node: connects to port 1 of Ethernet switch #2 (SW2) via Ethernet cable.NIC 45
Secondary nodes: connects to the next available port on Ethernet switch #2 (SW2)
via Ethernet cable. Cable secondary nodes to the switch ports 2 through 8 in
sequential order.
Primary node: connects to port 1 of Ethernet switch #1 (SW1) via Ethernet cable.NIC 36
Secondary nodes: connects to the next available port on Ethernet switch #1 (SW1)
via Ethernet cable. Cable secondary nodes to the switch ports 2 through 8 in
sequential order.
Primary node: connects to your system's external network via Ethernet cable.NIC 17
Secondary nodes: connects to your system's external network when using replication
via Ethernet cable.
NOTE: Not all systems use all of the components listed in Table 2 (page 18).
The primary node, node 0, is on the bottom of the stack of nodes. From the bottom to the top they
are: node 0, node 1, node 2, node 3. (The number of nodes will vary from system to system.)
1. Cable the primary node (node 0) and secondary node (node 1) using Table 2 (page 18).
2. If you are installing more than two nodes, cable the nodes using Table 2 (page 18). Start at
node 2 and work your way up the rack.
3. Using Velcro®, secure the cables to the left side of the rack.
4. Install loopback plugs on the nodes in all unused Fibre Channel ports.
