4 Cluster Cabling and Setup Connecting Shared Storage CAUTION To prevent damage to device cables before extending any racked device from the rack, check that there is either sufficient cable length or disconnect the cables. Also make sure to extend the anti-tip bar at the bottom front or rear of the rack (as applicable) before extending any devices. Cabling Guidelines • Use the Right Cables. Only cables specified in your Configuration Guide are to be used for connecting NetServers and shared storage. • Use Diagrams in the Configuration Guide. Cabling a cluster requires that connections be made in a specific manner. Use the diagrams in the applicable Configuration Guide to cable the cluster configuration. • Rack Layout. Cables bundled with a clustered system dictate the stacking or arrangement of devices in the rack. When defining your cluster using HP Rack Assistant, a rack layout should have been printed. Lay out devices in the rack according to the Rack Assistant layout to ensure that all required cable connections can be made and that the layout conforms to usability and safety standards. Shared Storage Power Shared Storage can be on or off. to part "5 NetServer Software Setup of the Installation Guide" Fibre Channel Supplement to the HP NetServer Microsoft Cluster Installation Guide 8
