Connecting 7700 FSP Cluster Southbound Cables
Note:
For details on device reference and cable abbreviation conventions, see
Component Reference Conventions
Apply the supplied cable labels to the fibre optic cables that ship with the 7700 FSP system, and
these labels indicate the respective component ports for making device connections.
The southbound inter-cluster cables connect the Memory Gateways on each shelf with the FC
switches, and also connect the FC switches to the 7700 FSP Controllers. The supplied labels for
the fibre optic cables use the following label format, WW:X-Y-ZZZ at each end, and this is shown in
examples in Table 2.4.
Figure 2.9 shows an example of cable connections for a southbound data path for a 7700 Flash
Storage Platform system that is comprised of two 7700 FSP Controllers, two FC switches, and two
shelves.
1.
Apply the supplied cable labels to the fibre optic cables.
2.
Connect each storage shelf to both FC switches using the labeled cables.
Refer to Table 2.5 and connect the ports on Shelf 1 to FC switch A and FC switch B. Table 2.5
and Figure 2.4 provide all the FC port references for MG-A and MG-B for each shelf.
