Compaq AA-RHGWB-TE manual Connecting a BA350 and a BA356 for Shared Scsi Bus Usage

must be used with a BA356 or UltraSCSI BA356 if more than five disks are required.

The following sections provide the steps needed to connect two storage shelves and two member systems on a shared SCSI bus:

•BA350 and BA356 (Section 9.4.2.1)

•Two BA356s (Section 9.4.2.2)

•Two UltraSCSI BA356s (Section 9.4.2.3)

9.4.2.1Connecting a BA350 and a BA356 for Shared SCSI Bus Usage

When you use a BA350 and a BA356 for storage on a shared SCSI bus in a TruCluster Server configuration, the BA356 must be configured for SCSI IDs 8 through 14.

To prepare a BA350 and BA356 for shared SCSI bus usage (see Figure 9–9), follow these steps:

1.Complete the steps in Section 9.4.1.1 and Section 9.4.1.2 to prepare the BA350 and BA356. Ensure that the BA356 is configured for SCSI IDs 8 through 14.

2.If either storage shelf will be at the end of the shared SCSI bus, attach an H879-AA terminator to the H885-AA trilink on the DWZZA or DWZZB for the storage shelf that will be at the end of the bus. You can choose either storage shelf to be on the end of the bus.

3.Connect a BN21K or BN21L between the H885-AA trilink on the DWZZA (BA350) and the H885-AA trilink on the DWZZB (BA356)

4.When the KZPSA-BB or KZPBA-CB host bus adapters have been installed:

•If the storage shelves are on the end of the shared SCSI bus, connect a BN21K (or BN21L) cable between the BN21W-0B Y cables on the host bus adapters. Connect another BN21K (or BN21L) cable between the BN21W-0B Y cable with an open connector and the H8855-AA trilink (on the storage shelf) with an open connector.

•If the storage shelves are in the middle of the shared SCSI bus, connect a BN21K (or BN21L) cable between the BN21W-0B Y cable on each host bus adapter and the H8855-AA trilink on a storage shelf.

Figure 9–9 shows a two-member TruCluster Server configuration using a BA350 and a BA356 for storage.
