Zoned storage—single domain, standard cabling
This example illustrates standard cabling for a single-domain configuration
using single-port SATA
drives
. In this configuration, note the following:
•
One cable from each
MDS600
I/O module to the switch offers single-domain connectivity.
Devices and quantities
MDS600 storage enclosures: 1
MDS600 I/O modules: 2
BladeSystem c7000 enclosures: 1
3Gb SAS BL Switches: 1
Server blade types: half-height and full-height
Connection details
•
Switch in interconnect bay 5:
◦
Port 1: to MDS600 drawer 2, primary
I/O module, port 1
◦
Port 5: to MDS600 drawer 1, primary
I/O module, port 1
Notes
•
If sufficient ports on the switch are
available, HP recommends connecting an
additional cable from the switch to each
I/O module, for additional performance.
For an example, see
“Zoned
storage—single domain, wide-port cabling”

As shown in this illustration, server bays
1–8 may access MDS600 drawer 2 and
server bays 9–16 may access MDS600
drawer 1. For more information, see
