First cluster, connect cluster node 1 to the SAN | Dell CX4 specs

Cabling Multiple SAN-Attached Clusters to the CX4-120 or CX4-240 Storage System

1In the first cluster, connect cluster node 1 to the SAN:

a Connect a cable from HBA port 0 to Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0). b Connect a cable from HBA port 1 to Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1).

2In the first cluster, repeat step 1 for each additional cluster node.

3For each additional cluster, repeat step 1 and step 2.

4Connect the storage system to the SAN:

a Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0) to the first front- end fibre channel port on SP-A.

b Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0) to the first front- end fibre channel port on SP-B.

c Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1) to the second front-end fibre channel port on SP-A.

d Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1) to the second front-end fibre channel port on SP-B.

NOTE: Additional cables can be connected from the fibre channel switches to the storage system if there are available front-end fibre channel ports on the storage processors.

Cabling Multiple SAN-Attached Clusters to the CX4-480 or CX4-960Storage System

2In the first cluster, repeat step 1 for each additional cluster node.

3For each additional cluster, repeat step 1 and step 2.

4Connect the storage system to the SAN:

a Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0) to the first front- end fibre channel port on SP-A.

b Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0) to the first front- end fibre channel port on SP-B.
