D-Link Document – User Manual
CAUTION:
Before using trunking or LACP, the gigabit switch must support either
trunking or LACP. Otherwise, the host cannot connect link with the storage
device.
Dual Controllers
The D-Link storage system supports dual controllers of the same type for redundancy. Controller 1
(CTRL 1) is the master controller and controller 2 (CTRL 2) is the slave by default.
CAUTION:
If you try to increase the system memory and are running in dual
controller mode, please make sure both controllers have the same
DIMM on each corresponding memory slot. Failing to do so will result in
controller malfunction, which will not be covered by warranty.
Be aware that when the LED of the Controller Health is in RED, please
DO NOT unplug the controller from the system or turn off the power
suddenly. This may cause unrecoverable damage, which will not be
covered by warranty.
Perform I/O
Please refer to the following topology and have all the connections ready. To perform I/O on dual
controllers, server/host should setup MPIO. MPIO policy will keep I/O running and prevent fail
connection with single controller failure.
