Fibre ChaNNel saN – No siNgle poiNt oF Failure
An FC SAN with no single point of failure (NSPF) requires:
• An FC HBA card in each host PC or server
• An SFP transceiver for each connected FC port on the subsystem
• Two FC switches
• A network switch
fc sAn nsPf dAtA PAth
To establish the data path:
1. Connect an FC cable between an FC data port on the left RAID controller and one of the FC switches.
See “FC SAN NSPF data connections” on page 47
2. Connect an FC cable between an FC data port on the left RAID controller and the other FC switch.
3. Connect an FC cable between an FC data port on the right RAID controller and one of the FC switches.
4. Connect an FC cable between an FC data port on the right RAID controller and the other FC switch.
5. Connect FC cables between one of the FC switches and the FC HBA cards in both of the host PCs or
servers.
6. Connect FC cables between the other FC switch and the FC HBA cards in both of the host PCs or servers.
If you have multiple Vess R2000 subsystems, repeat steps 1 through 6 as required.
Important
