Connecting Fibre Channel cables in a multipath configuration
Figure 5 shows the Fibre Channel cable connections of an MSA1000 being accessed by two
servers in a multipath configuration.
NOTE: Multipath configurations must include:
• Two MSA controllers
• Two MSA Fibre Channel I/O modules
• Two Fibre Channel switches
• One server (at a minimum), with two HBAs in each server
Figure 5 Sample Fibre Channel cable connections, multipath configuration
Connect the first Fibre Channel HBA that is initialized during the POST to the active Fibre Channel
interconnect switch (that is, the Fibre Channel SAN switch that is connected to the MSA1000 active
controller—in other words, the controller on the right as you look at the MSA1000 from the front).
