Figure 11. Connecting Hosts - Switch Attach: Two Servers/Two Switches
illustrates the switch-connect configuration for the EF3015 controller enclosures
supporting pertinent host interface protocols. Connect appropriate cables from controller
host ports to switch ports, and from switch ports to hosts.

Connecting a Management Host on the Network
The management host directly manages storage systems out-of-band over an Ethernet
network.
1.
Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the network port on each controller.
2.
Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host
can access (preferably on the same subnet).
NOTE :
Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with
metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods in order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and
Regulations.

Connecting Two Storage Systems to Replicate Volumes
AssuredRemote replication is a disaster-recovery feature that performs batch replication of
block-level data from a source volume in one storage system to a destination volume in
another storage system. The two volumes form a
replication set,
and only the source volume
can be mapped for access by a server. Both systems must be licensed to use replication, and
must be connected through switches to the same fabric or network. The server accessing the
replication set need only be connected to the source system. If the source system goes
offline, the server can access the replicated data from the destination system.
