Figure 2-7. Cabling a SAN-Attached Cluster to the Compellent Storage System
NOTE: Additional cables can be connected from the fibre channel switches to the
storage system if there are available front-end fibre channel ports on the storage
processors.
Cabling Multiple SAN-Attached Clusters to a Compellent Storage System
To cable multiple clusters to the storage system, connect the cluster nodes to
the appropriate Fibre Channel switches and then connect the Fibre Channel
switches to the appropriate the storage controllers.
Cabling Multiple SAN-Attached Clusters to the Compellent Storage System
1
In the first cluster, connect cluster node 1 to the SAN:
a
Connect a cable from HBA port 0 to Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0).
b
Connect a cable from HBA port 1 to Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1).
2
In the first cluster, repeat step 1 for each additional cluster node.
