Double-wide shelf-to-shelf connectivity
• Double-wide shelf-to-shelf connectivity is used in quad-pathed (quad-path HA and quad-path)
configurations.
• Double-wide shelf-to-shelf connectivity requires two cable connections between disk shelves in each
domain—domain A (IOM A) and domain B (IOM B).
The first cable connection is cabled as standard shelf-to-shelf connectivity (using IOM ports 3 and 1); the
second cable connection is cabled as double-wide shelf-to-shelf connectivity (using IOM ports 4 and 2).
From the logical first shelf to the logical last shelf in a stack, you connect IOM port 3 to the next shelf’s IOM
port 1 in domain A and then domain B. From the logical first shelf to the logical last shelf in a stack, you
connect IOM port 4 to the next shelf’s IOM port 2 in domain A and then domain B. (IOM ports cabled as
double-wide connectivity are shown with blue.)
