Cabling the Cluster Nodes to a CX3-40f Storage System
NOTE:
If your cluster is attached to Dell|EMC CX3-10c, CX3-20/c, or CX3-40/c
storage systems, you can configure two cluster nodes in a direct-attached
configuration. With the CX3-40f or CX3-80 you can configure four cluster nodes and
with CX3-20f you can configure six cluster nodes in a direct attached configuration.
Cabling a Four-Node Cluster to a CX3-20f, CX3-40f, and CX3-80 Storage System
1
Connect cluster node 1 to the storage system:
a
Install a cable from cluster node 1 HBA port 0 to SP-A
Fibre port 0
(first Fibre Channel port
).
b
Install a cable from cluster node 1 HBA port 1 to SP-B
Fibre port 0
(first Fibre Channel port
).
2
Connect cluster node 2 to the storage system:
a
Install a cable from cluster node 2 HBA port 0 to SP-A
Fibre port 1
(second Fibre Channel port
).
b
Install a cable from cluster node 2 HBA port 1 to SP-B
Fibre port 1
(second Fibre Channel port
).
