Figure 2-8 shows an example of a two node SAN-attached cluster. Figure 2-9 shows an example of an eight-node SAN-attached cluster.

Similar cabling concepts can be applied to clusters that contain a different number of nodes.

NOTE: The connections listed in this section are representative of one proven method of ensuring redundancy in the connections between the cluster nodes and the storage system. Other methods that achieve the same type of redundant connectivity may be acceptable.
