Example of Multi-Appliance FC 10GbE Cluster Conguration
The following example shows the best-practices conguration for multi-appliance Fibre Channel 10GbE clusters.
• Client network – Each FS8600 controller has multiple connections to each stacked Ethernet switch.
• Internal network – Each FS8600 controller has multiple connections to the stacked internal network Ethernet switches.
• Fibre Channel SAN – Each FS8600 controller has a connection to each FC fabric (Storage Center fault domain).
NOTE: To simplify the diagram, only one FS8600 appliance is shown. Additional appliances in the cluster must be
connected to the same client network, internal network, and FC SAN fabric.
