Installing the Host Bus Adapter
Follow the installation instructions in the server documentation to install the host bus
adapter in the servers. Install one adapter in each server.
For the basic configurations (single host bus adapter, single or dual storage
controllers), only one adapter is installed per server. Chapter 4 discusses the
enhanced configuration (dual host bus adapters, dual storage controllers) in which a
second adapter is installed.
Connect the adapter from each server to the Fibre Channel switch. Connect port 1
(the left port) of the storage controller to the Fibre Channel switch.
Designating the Server as a Maintenance Terminal
A server must be connected to the storage controller to provide a maintenance
terminal (see Figure 3-2).
NOTE: Only one server should be designated as the maintenance terminal. It is
recommended that a separate stand-alone server that is not part of the cluster be designated
as the maintenance server.
