To review various configuration options, see the discussions following “Summary of Array Configuration” on page 5-1.Refer also to the configuration options presented in the SANnet II 200 FC and SATA Array Best Practices Manual.

In dual-controller arrays, SFPs are initially plugged into one of each pair of host and drive ports. The default port connections are:

■The upper I/O controller module has SFPs in the FC0, FC2, and FC4 ports.

■The lower I/O controller module has SFPs in the FC1, FC3, and FC5 ports.

This configuration provides connections to all six host channels as well as to both drive channels (see Figure 4-17and Figure 4-18).
