Connect the Target Site to the External Fiber Link
Locate the offsite connection points at the target site that link the target site to the initiator site.
Execute the procedure in the next section if you have longwave or very long distance GBICs.
Otherwise, go the section below titled “Other Transport Modes.”
LongWave or Very Long Distance GBICs
T 1. Install longwave or very long distance GBIC now if not previously installed.
T 2. Connect a single-mode, 9-micron fiber optic cable from the longwave or very long
distance GBIC in the top switch to one connection point.
T 3. Connect another single-mode, 9-micron fiber optic cable from the long-wave or very long
distance GBIC in the bottom switch to the other connection point.
Other Transport Modes
For a list of the most current software, firmware, patches, drivers, and so on, for each of the
supported operating systems in your DRM solution, refer to the DRM Release Notes.
The target site is now physically linked to the initiator site. Figure 18 shows what this cabling
should look like.
Note: You can make sure that switches and ports are connected as you have documented them by
issuing the nbrStateShow switch command. Issue the topologyShow command at the switch
to reveal whether you have more than one fiber optic cable between the switches on each site.
1 Connection points to initiator site
2 Cable from port 6 of the top switch to one connection point
3 Cable from port 6 of the bottom switch to the other connection point
