Cabling a Four-Node Cluster to a Dell/EMC AX4-5FX Storage System

You can configure a 4-node cluster in a direct-attached configuration using a Dell/EMC AX4-5FX storage system:

1Connect cluster node 1 to the storage system:

a Install a cable from cluster node 1 HBA port 0 to the first front-end fibre channel port on SP-A.

b Install a cable from cluster node 1 HBA port 1 to the first front-end fibre channel port on SP-B.

2Connect cluster node 2 to the storage system:

a Install a cable from cluster node 2 HBA port 0 to the second front-end fibre channel port on SP-A.

b Install a cable from cluster node 2 HBA port 1 to the second front-end fibre channel port on SP-B.

3Connect cluster node 3 to the storage system:

a Install a cable from cluster node 3 HBA port 0 to the third front-end fibre channel port on SP-A.

b Install a cable from cluster node 3 HBA port 1 to the third front-end fibre channel port on SP-B.

4Connect cluster node 4 to the storage system:
