Setting Up Dual Redundant Controllers (Multibus Failover)
To set up a multiple cluster configuration with dual redundant controllers (multibus
failover), refer to Figure 2-7 for an example of this configuration. Since all four ports
are active, the unit offsets are not assigned automatically and must be configured
manually.
1. Set up the first cluster according to instructions in Chapters 2 and 4.
2. After you set up the first cluster, follow the steps on page 2-10 of this chapter to
set the port topology and the ALPA settings for the storage controllers.
3. Follow the cluster installation instructions in Chapters 2 and 4 to set up the
second cluster, with the important exceptions included in Table 2-10.
