HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share for SFS20 Enclosure Hardware Installation Guide Version 2.2

A Wiring Tables
This appendix provides the wiring label specifications, and the wiring tables for HP StorageWorks
Scalable File Share 20 Enclosure configurations. Tables are provided for each of the various
configurations using the ProLiant DL360 and ProLiant DL380 as the Object Storage Servers, with
each of the supported ratios of SFS20 Enclosures to servers (1:1, 2:1, 3:1, and 4:1).
When connecting SFS to HP Cluster Platform, use the following generic cabling algorithm for
all interconnects:
1. Cabling always starts from the last physical port (highest port number).
2. Ensure that all cabling is complete for the cluster platform control node, which always uses
the last available interconnect port (highest port number).
3. Ensure that all cabling is complete for the cluster platform utility nodes, which begins after
the control node, working downward (second highest port number downward).
4. Ensure that cabling is complete for all cluster platform application nodes, starting from the
first physical port (lowest port number upward).
5. Any remaining ports are available for SFS node links, subject to any cabling rules specified
in the SFS software documentation.
A.1 Wiring Label Specifications
Each cable in an HP SFS system is provided a label consisting of the origin and destination of
the cable. The label specification is shown in Example A-1 “Wiring Designation” and described
in Table A-1 “Cable Wiring Designations”.
