5. Plug the other end of the cable either into an HBA in the host (direct topology) or into a switch (fabric
topology).
6. Affix a label to each end of the cable with this information. A label is very important if you need to disconnect
cables to service a controller. Include this information on the labels:
—
The host name and the HBA port (for direct topology)
—
The switch name and the port (for fabric topology)
—
The controller ID (for example, controller A)
—
The host channel ID (for example, host channel 1)
