Cabling Multiple iSCSI SAN-Attached Clusters For Dell EqualLogic PS6000/PS6100/PS6500 Storage Arrays

1.Connect a network cable from the network switch 0 to Ethernet 0 on the control module 1.

2.Connect a network cable from the network switch 0 to Ethernet 1 on the control module 1.

3.Connect a network cable from the network switch 1 to Ethernet 2 on the control module 1.

4.Connect a network cable from the network switch 1 to Ethernet 3 on the control module 1.

5.Connect a network cable from the network switch 1 to Ethernet 0 on the control module 0.

6.Connect a network cable from the network switch 1 to Ethernet 1 on the control module 0.

7.Connect a network cable from the network switch 0 to Ethernet 2 on the control module 0.

8.Connect a network cable from the network switch 0 to Ethernet 3 on the control module 0.

9.Repeat steps 1 to 8 to connect the additional Dell EqualLogic PS6000/PS6100/PS6500 storage array(s) to the iSCSI switches.

NOTE: For PS6100 storage array, having all eight cables in steps 1 through 4 provides highest level of cable redundancy. It works fine with only four cables. You can skip either step 1 or 5, either step 2 or 6, either step 3 or 7, and either step 4 or 8.
