IMPORTANT: When using wide-port cabling, both cables from an MDS600 I/O module must connect to one of the following pairs of switch ports: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8. Devices and quantities MDS600 storage enclosures: 2 MDS600 I/O modules in each MDS600: 2 BladeSystem c7000 enclosures: 1 3Gb SAS BL Switches: 2 Server blade types: half-height and full-height Connection details • Switch in interconnect bay 5: ◦ Port 1: to MDS600 drawer 2, primary I/O module, port 1 ◦ Port 2: to MDS600 drawer 2, primary I/O module, port 2 ◦ Port 5: to MDS600 drawer 2, primary I/O module, port 1 ◦ Port 6: to MDS600 drawer 2, primary I/O module, port 2 • Switch in interconnect bay 6: ◦ Port 1: to MDS600 drawer 1, primary I/O module, port 1 ◦ Port 2: to MDS600 drawer 1, primary I/O module, port 2 ◦ Port 5: to MDS600 drawer 1, primary I/O module, port 1 ◦ Port 6: to MDS600 drawer 1, primary I/O module, port 2 Notes • As shown in this illustration, server bays 1-8 will have exclusive access to one MDS600 enclosure and server bays 9-16 will have exclusive access to the other MDS600 enclosure. IMPORTANT: Because it includes two HP 3Gb SAS BL Switches, this configuration is similar in appearance to a dual-domain, wide-port configuration. However, because of the single I/O module in each MDS600 drawer when using single-port SATA drives, it is for single-domain use only. The additional switch is used in conjunction with the cabling scheme and zone group strategy to obtain best possible performance in a single-domain configuration using single-port SATA drives.
