HP StorageWorks Scalable File Share System Installation and Upgrade Guide Version 2.2

Preparing for the installation2–6

• On ProLiant DL360 servers, the PCI slots are used as follows:

• A Myrinet, Quadrics, Voltaire InfiniBand, or Dual Port PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet adapter is used in

the first PCI slot on all servers for the connection to the interconnect.

• The second PCI slot on each server is always used for connection to storage.

• On ProLiant DL380 servers, the PCI slots are used as follows:

• A Myrinet, Quadrics, Voltaire InfiniBand, or Dual Port PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet adapter is used in

the first PCI slot on all servers for the connection to the interconnect.

• The second and third PCI slots on each server are always used for connection to storage. One

slot may be unused if there is only one storage HBA.

Configuration 2

A dual or a bonded Gigabit Ethernet interconnect is used and is also connected to the site network.

Figure 2-3 shows the connections in this configuration.

NOTE: A single Dual Port PCI-X Gigabit Ethernet adapter is used for dual and bonded Gigabit Ethernet

interconnects. In Figure 2-3, this is represented by NIC 3 and NIC 4.

Figure 2-3 Configuration 2—dual or bonded Gigabit Ethernet interconnect (connected to site network)

In this configuration, the connections are as follows:

• NIC 1 on all of the servers in the HP SFS system is connected to the management network.

• NIC 2 on all servers is not connected.
