Placing Fibre Channel HBAs

Additionally, you may need to add hard-disk drives and a Dell PowerEdge Expandable RAID Controller (PERC) to each node if you are setting up the system’s internal drives in a hardware RAID configuration. However, this configuration is not a requirement for clustering. See the Installation and Troubleshooting Guide for your PowerEdge system for instructions on installing expansion cards or hard-disk drives in your node.

Placing Fibre Channel HBAs

For dual HBA configurations, Dell recommends placing Fibre Channel HBAs on sepa- rate PCI buses. Placing the adapters on separate buses improves availability and performance.

NOTE: See the Dell PowerEdge Cluster FE100/FL100 and FE200/FL200 Platform Guide for more information on your system’s PCI bus configuration and supported HBAs.

Configuring Enclosure Addresses

When adding PowerVault 630F disk-array enclosures (DAE) to a PowerVault 650F or adding PowerVault 224F DAEs to a PowerVault 660F, assign a unique enclosure address (EA) to each DAE.

NOTE: See the Dell PowerVault 630F and 250F Rackmount Storage Systems Installa- tion and Service Guide and the Dell PowerVault 660F and 224F Rackmount Storage Systems Installation and Service Guide for more information on setting enclosure addresses.
