Cabling a SAN-Attached Cluster to a Dell/EMC CX4-120 or CX4-240 Storage
System
1
Connect cluster node 1 to the SAN:
a
Connect a cable from HBA port 0 to Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0).
b
Connect a cable from HBA port 1 to Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1).
2
Repeat step 1 for each additional cluster node.
3
Connect the storage system to the SAN:
a
Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0) to the first front-
end fibre channel port on SP-A.
b
Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 0 (sw0) to the first front-
end fibre channel port on SP-B.
c
Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1) to the second
front-end fibre channel port on SP-A.
d
Connect a cable from Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1) to the second
front-end fibre channel port on SP-B.
NOTE:
Additional cables can be connected from the fibre channel switches to the
storage system if there are available front-end fibre channel ports on the storage
processors.
