Connection for the
Campus
Configuration
NOTE Start the installation at the primary site. Repeat these steps for the secondary
site when instructed to do so.
After both Fibre Channel switches are correctly zoned, complete this procedure to set
up the campus configuration for the Synchronous Mirroring premium feature.
NOTE Complete all connections by using Fibre Channel cables of the correct length.
1. Are you adding equipment for the Synchronous Mirroring premium feature to an
existing storage array environment?
— Ye s – Stop I/O activity from all hosts before proceeding. Go to step 2.
— No – This is a new storage array installation. Go to step 3.
ATTENTION Possible hardware damage – DC-powered controller-drive trays and
drive trays have special power procedures that you must follow beyond the procedures
for AC-powered trays. To get specific power-off and power-on procedures, refer to the
topics under the storage array installation for the hardware that you are installing or to
the corresponding PDF document on the SANtricity ES Storage Manager Installation
DVD.
2. Turn off the power to all storage arrays, hosts, Fibre Channel switches, and any
other equipment in the storage array environment.
3. Make sure that basic connection between all of the controller trays or
controller-drive trays and the drive trays on both storage arrays is complete.
NOTE Depending on which site is being configured, switch 1 represents switch 1A
for the primary site and switch 1B for the secondary site.
NOTE You can connect the cables to any port in the correct zone of the switch.
4. Connect the primary host bus adapter for each host at this site to an available port
in zone 1 of switch 1A.
The following figure shows the connection that is described in step 4 and step 5.
