Factory cabling of a
stand-alone system When you order a stand-alone system, the factory cables it according to your
instructions. All internal adapters, such as networking adapters, Fibre Channel
adapters, and other adapters, arrive preinstalled in the nodes.
Factory cabling of
an HA pair For information about factory cabling of an HA pair and the cabling that you
need to perform to complete the process, see the Data ONTAP
High Availability
Configuration Guide or the Data ONTAP Active/Active Configuration Guide .
Attention
An HA pair is not cabled or configured for Multipath Storage by default. If you
want to use Multipath Storage, you must set a specific environment variable for
the gateway before cabling and configuring the nodes for Multipath Storage. See
“
Configuring the gateway environment variable for Multipath Storage ” on
page 71 for information about the environment variable that you need to set. See
the Data ONTAP
High Availability Configuration Guide for cabling and
configuration requirements for Multipath Storage.
