Sample Switch Information Worksheet

A sample switch worksheet section follows. It describes one server with two HBAs and one storage system with two SPs.

Customer-Installable Switch 1 Information

SP-to-switch connections

Switch port	Storage System name	SP	SP port
0	Storage4	SP A X or SP B __	FE 0 X or FE 1 __
4	Storage4	SP A __ or SP B X	FE 0 X or FE 1 __
	Switch-to-server HBA connections
Switch port	Server name		HBA name
1	nlpc5236		A0
2	nlpc5236		A1

If you have multiple servers and two switches, you must connect the HBAs in each server to matching switch ports; that is, with two servers, HBA a0 in each server connects to port 1 on each switch and HBA a1 in each server connects to port 2 on each switch.

Figure 1 shows two servers, each with two HBAs; two switches; and a storage system with two SPs.
