Cabling Multiple SAN-Attached Clusters to a Dell/EMC Storage System

To cable multiple clusters to the storage system, connect the cluster nodes to the appropriate Fibre Channel switches and then connect the Fibre Channel switches to the appropriate storage processors on the processor enclosure.

For rules and guidelines for SAN-attached clusters, see the Dell Cluster Configuration Support Matrix on the Dell High Availability website at www.dell.com/ha.

NOTE: The following procedures use Figure 2-10, Figure 2-11, and Figure 2-12 as examples for cabling additional clusters.
