Cluster Installation
Host-to-Switch Connections
Tag each end of your fiber optic cable to identify switch names, port numbers, host
names, and so on. Two fiber optic connections are required for each host. Connect
the fiber optic cable such that connections to the two FCAs go to two separate
switches (fabrics).
Zoning Recommendations
Having both fabrics in place and operational is necessary before you even begin
any other equipment installation. For information on fabric topologies, fabric
design rules, and switch zoning, refer to the HP StorageWorks SAN Design
Reference Guide.
For Continuous Access-specific guidelines, refer to the HP StorageWorks
Continuous Access EVA Operations Guide.
Zoning is a logical grouping of end-to-end Fibre Channel connections, implemented
by switches, to create a barrier between different environments and allow for finer
segmentation of the fabric. Switch ports that are members of a zone can communicate
with each other but are isolated from ports in other zones.
Because the SMA and hosts in a Continuous Access EVA environment can conflict
with each other, they must reside in separate zones.
NOTE: If any HSG80 controllers with DRM reside within the SAN, they must be zoned out of
an EVA fabric.
