Procedure
Perform the following steps to make or verify Fibre Channel connections in a
stand-alone OpenStorage appliance.
1. Connect the Fibre Channel cables to the customer host network according to
Table 18 on page 44 and Table 19.
Note: The customer must use an additional connectivity device between the
optical Fibre directly connected to RMSS optical adapters (for example, Fibre,
ESCON, or FICON) and an external public network. It can be a patch panel,
router, switch, or other suitable device. Optical Fibre connectivity that does not
go over a public network does not require an additional connectivity device.
2. Use the applicable illustration to verify the Fibre Channel connections made in
manufacturing.
3. Ensure that all cables are routed through the cable management arms and
secured with straps. Then go to “Powering up the components” on page 68.
Cabling a clustered appliance
The topics in this section give a brief overview of cable connections to be made
when installing a clustered TS7650 Appliance at the customer site.
Most of the cable connections have been completed during the manufacturing
process, and are shown in the figures. The tables in the following sections list only
those cable connections that must be made at the customer site. To avoid
confusion, it is suggested that you label each cable as you make the connection.
