fibre channel port on SP-A.
b
Install a cable from cluster node 1 HBA port 1 to the first front-end
fibre channel port on SP-B.
2
Connect cluster node 2 to the storage system:
a
Install a cable from cluster node 2 HBA port 0 to the second front-end
fibre channel port on SP-A.
b
Install a cable from cluster node 2 HBA port 1 to the second front-end
fibre channel port on SP-B.
3
Connect cluster node 3 to the storage system:
a
Install a cable from cluster node 3 HBA port 0 to the third front-end
fibre channel port on SP-A.
b
