Connecting remote management hosts The management host directly manages systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network. 1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the Ethernet management port on each controller. 2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host can access (preferably on the same subnet). MSA2000 G2 direct-connect configurations The MSA2000i G2 supports up to four direct connect server connections, two per controller. The MSA2000sa G2 supports up to eight direct connect server connections, four per controller. Connect cables from the servers' HBAs to the controller ports as shown in the following illustrations. Any number or combination of LUNs can be shared among a maximum of 32 servers as long as the total adds up to no more than 511 LUNs per MSA2000sa G2 or 512 LUNs per MSA2000i G2. One server connected to a MSA2000sa G2 enclosure A: One server/single path requires one (1) mini-SAS 4x cable. A + B: One server/dual path requires two (2) mini-SAS 4x cables. Two servers connected to a MSA2000sa G2 enclosure Two servers/dual path requires four (4) mini-SAS 4x cables. Four servers connected to a MSA2000sa G2 enclosure Four servers/dual path requires eight (8) mini-SAS 4x cables. One server connected to a MSA2000i G2 enclosure A: One server/single path requires one (1) Ethernet cable. A + B: One server/dual path requires two (2) Ethernet cables. Two servers connected to a MSA2000i G2 enclosure Two servers/dual path requires four (4) Ethernet cables. MSA2000sa G2 switch-connect configurations IMPORTANT: • Any number or combination of LUNs can be shared among a maximum of 32 servers as long as the total adds up to no more than 511 LUNs per MSA2000sa G2 or 512 LUNs per MSA2000i G2. • Single density configurations support two 3Gb SAS BL Switches per blade enclosure. • Dual density configurations support four 3Gb SAS BL Switches per blade enclosure. • Only use supported mini-SAS 4x cables with 3Gb connectors. Blade enclosures - blade servers/two 3Gb SAS BL switches Cables required: four (4) mini-SAS 4x cables. Step 3: Connect cables Common cable configurations are included here.
