This topic describes how to cable the fibre channel ports.
Context
Steps
- Verify that no cables are connected to the Ethernet ports.
- Connect the fibre channel cables from the master console to an
unused fibre switch port.
Note: For
SAN Volume Controller users: The recommended configuration for SAN Volume
Controller is that it should be connected to two independent SANs. The configuration
of the second SAN should duplicate the first SAN. To enable problem determination
of SAN problems, Tivoli® SAN Manager on the master console needs to have
access to both SANs through the fibre channel ports. Hence, one of the fibre
channel cables from the master console must be connected to a fibre channel
switch on the first SAN and the other cable should be connected to a fibre
channel switch on the second (duplicate) SAN.
