Install - Step 9 (Fibre Channel)
Connect Fibre Channel data ports
Use fiber-optic cables to connect the storage-system fibre data ports to the server.
If you used an “ease of use” zoning wizard in Step 8, skip this step and continue with
"Register the Fibre Channel HBAs" on page 22
.
1. Plug the cables into the Fibre Channel front-end ports (marked 4 Fibre and
5 Fibre) on the SPs.
2. Connect the free end of each fiber-optic cable:
•
For a direct configuration between a storage system and server, connect the
cables to Fibre Channel HBA ports as shown below.
•
For a switch configuration between a storage system and server, connect the
cables to Fibre Channel switch ports
Applications such as MirrorView/A, MirrorView/S, or SAN Copy software may restrict or require
the use of certain SP ports. Refer to the application documentation for specific cabling information.
