Connecting the P63x0/P65x0 EVA to servers and switches Fibre Channel You can connect the front end of the P63x0/P65x0 EVA FC controllers either to external Fibre Channel switches or directly to servers. The standard host port connectivity rule is to connect even controller ports to one fabric and odd controller ports to the other fabric. See Figure 60 (page 75) and Figure 62 (page 77) for front end connections with server-based management. See Figure 61 (page 76) and Figure 63 (page 78) for front end connections with array-based management. NOTE: The cabling diagrams in Figure 60 (page 75) through Figure 63 (page 78) require fabric connect mode, which is the default as shipped.

Fibre Channel
You can connect the front end of the P63x0/P65x0 EVA FC controllers either to external Fibre
Channel switches or directly to servers. The standard host port connectivity rule is to connect even
controller ports to one fabric and odd controller ports to the other fabric. See
Figure 60 (page 75)
and
Figure 62 (page 77)
for front end connections with server-based management. See
Figure 61 (page 76)
and
Figure 63 (page 78)
for front end connections with array-based
management.
NOTE:
The cabling diagrams in
Figure 60 (page 75)
through
Figure 63 (page 78)
require fabric
connect mode, which is the default as shipped. The P63x0 is shown in these diagrams, but the
port count and front-end cable placement is the same for the Fibre Channel version of the P65x0.
