Cabling the 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Kit

This guide illustrates the connection schemes for a single-path fabric using one HP StorageWorks 8/20q

Fibre Channel Switch and a multipath fabric using two switches. For detailed instructions on installing and

configuring the switch, see the

HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch Rack Mount Kit quick start

installation instructions

, the

HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch quick start installation

instructions

, and the

.

The colors used in the diagrams to represent hardware connections are for illustration purposes only and do

not reflect actual cable colors.

Single-path configuration

Here is an example of a single path configuration consisting of

one 8Gb Simple SAN Connection Kit

, two

storage arrays, and four servers.

•

Connect MSA storage to switch port 0 (red) OR connect EVA storage controller A to switch port 2 (green)

and controller B to switch port 3 (optional).

•

Connect the four servers to switch ports 4, 5, 6, and 7, respectively (blue).

•

Connect each switch and server Ethernet port to the Local Area Network (LAN). This allows the Simple

SAN Connection Manager (SSCM) software, that is running on the management station, to discover the

servers and switch.
