______________________ Note _______________________
If you lose an ISL, the communication can be routed through
another switch to the same port on the other controller. This can
constitute the maximum allowable two hops.
You can find the following information about storage array networks (SAN)
in the Compaq StorageWorks Heterogeneous Open SAN Design Reference
Guide located at:

• Supported SAN topologies
• SAN fabric design rules
• SAN platform and operating system restrictions (including the number
of switches supported)
6.7 Procedure for Installation Using Fibre Channel Disks
Use the following procedure to install Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1A and
TruCluster Server Version 5.1A using Fibre Channel disks. If you are only
installing Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1A, complete the first eight steps. Complete
all the steps for a TruCluster Server Version 5.1A installation. See the Tru64
UNIX Installation Guide, TruCluster Server Cluster Installation manual,
and other hardware manuals as appropriate for the actual installation
procedures.
1. Install the Fibre Channel switch or hub (Section 6.8.1 or Section 6.8.2).
2. Install the KGPSA PCI-to-Fibre Channel host bus adapter
(Section 6.8.3).
3. Set up the HSG80 RAID array controllers for a fabric or loop
configuration (Section 6.8.4).
4. Configure the HSG80 disks to be used for installation of the base
operating system and cluster. Be sure to set the identifier for each
storage unit you will use for operating system or cluster installation
(Section 6.9.1.1 and Section 6.9.1.2).
5. If the system is not already powered on, power on the system where you
will install Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1A. If this is a cluster installation,
this system will also be the first cluster member.
Use the console WWID manager (
wwidmgr) utility to set the device unit
number for the Fibre Channel Tru64 UNIX Version 5.1A disk and first
cluster member system boot disks (Section 6.9.1.3).
