Shared storage—P2000 G3 SAS MSA dual-controller, single-domain optimal cabling

This example illustrates standard cabling for a dual-controller P2000 G3 SAS MSA enclosure. In

this configuration, note the following:

• One cable from the single switch to each MSA controller offers dual-path connectivity between

the MSA and the switch.

• Because there is only one switch in the c-Class enclosure interconnect bay row, connectivity

from the switch to the server will be single-path.

Devices and quantities

P2000 G3 SAS MSA controller enclosures: 1

P2000 drive enclosures: 0

BladeSystem c7000 enclosures: 1

SAS BL Switches: 1

Server blade types: half-height and full-height

Connection details

• Switch in interconnect bay 5:

◦ Port 1: to P2000 G3 SAS MSA port A1

◦ Port 2: to P2000 G3 SAS MSA port B1

Notes

• The additional cable from the P2000 G3

SAS MSA to the single 6Gb SAS BL Switch

provides fault-tolerance at the array level.

• To provide fault-tolerance within the

BladeSystem environment, an additional

switch must be included in the configuration.
