8. Map logical drive 1 to channels 4 and 5 of the secondary controller.
Map LUN numbers 0 through 31 to the single ID on each host channel. Since each set
of LUNs is assigned to two channels for redundancy, the total working maximum
number of LUNs is 64 LUNs.
Note – The LUN ID numbers and the number of LUNs available per logical drive
can vary according to the number of logical drives and the ID assignments you want
on each channel.
9. Connect the first switch to ports 0 and 4 of the upper controller.
10. Connect the second switch to ports 1 and 5 of the lower controller.
11. Connect each server to each switch.
12. Install and enable multipathing software on each connected server.
The multipathing software prevents path failure but does not alter the controller
redundancy through which one controller automatically takes over all functions of a
second failed controller.
