Procedure - Connecting host cables on a controller-drive
tray
About this task
Important:
Ensure that you have installed the host bus adapters (HBAs). See
Step 3 - Installing the
host bus adapters for the controller-drive tray
on page 31 for additional information about how to
install the HBA and how to use the supplied configuration utilities.
The type of HICs (SAS, iSCSI, or Fibre Channel) must match the type of the HBAs or match the
type of switch interface to which you connect them.
See the examples in the following section for example cabling patterns.
Steps
1. Perform one of the following actions:
•
If your configuration contains either a Fibre Channel host interface card or an iSCSI host
interface card and uses optical cables, start with the first host channel of each controller, and
plug one end of the cable into the SFP transceiver in the host channel, go to step
3
on page
61.
•
If your configuration contains a SAS host interface card or uses copper cables, go to step
2
on
page 61.
The following four figures show valid host-to-controller-drive tray configurations.
