5.3.5 Installing an RA8000 or ESA12000 (Fibre Channel) and a Windows NT
Cluster
To establish two individual Fibre Channel loops between clustered Windows NT host
servers and a RAID subsystem, where one bus currently exists, reference Figure 5-5 and
follow these steps:
1. Install the host adapters in the servers
2. Connect the second hub to the second host adapter in each server and to the second
controller.
NOTE
You must use only one set of ports in the controller pair.
3. Reboot the host servers.
The Secure Path solution is now properly prepared and cabled.
