Storage Port Connections

Connect the SAN storage devices or fabric to the V-Switch 2000 using the FC/SCSI storage ports.

The storage ports are located on the front right of the V-Switch 2000. The type of storage ports on your V-Switch 2000 will vary depending on your V- Switch 2000 order specifications – either two SCSI or two FC ports.

The V-Switch 2000 contains a storage auto-discovery function. At power- up the V-Switch 2000 automatically scans for and registers all attached and powered up network storage devices.

If you are building a V-Switch 2000 cluster, power up each disk one at a time after connecting them to the powered-up V-Switches. This allows each disk to be numbered with the same default disk number on each V- Switch 2000 during auto-discovery. This will make cluster configuration easier. For more information on V-Switch 2000 clusters, see “V-Switch Cluster Configuration,” page 71.
