Cabling One iSCSI SAN-Attached Cluster To The Dell EqualLogic PS Series Storage Array(s)

1.Connect cluster node 1 to the iSCSI switches:

a)Connect a network cable from iSCSI NIC 0 (or NIC port 0) to the network switch 0.

b)Connect a network cable from iSCSI NIC 1 (or NIC port 1) to the network switch 1.

2.Repeat step 1 for each cluster node.

3.Connect the Dell EqualLogic PS Series storage array(s) to the iSCSI switches.

For more information on cabling the specific storage arrays, see the following sections.

Cabling The Dell EqualLogic PS4110/PS6110 Storage Arrays
