Cabling your system into a cluster

Step 2: Cabling the cluster interconnect adapters

Cluster interconnect adapters cabling diagram

The following diagram shows how the local filer and partner filer are cabled into a cluster through the cluster interconnect adapters.

Caution
Make sure that you cable the X port on the local filer to the X port on the partner filer. Incorrectly connecting the ports disables the cluster takeover feature.

Cabling the cluster interconnect adapters

To connect the filers into a cluster through the cluster interconnect adapters, complete the following steps.

Step	Action
1	Connect one end of the 4m cluster interconnect cable to the X port on the filer, and the other end to the X port on the partner filer.
2	Connect one end of the 4m cluster interconnect cable to the Y port on the filer, and the other end to the Y port on the partner filer.
3	Go to section Step 3: Cabling the Channel B loops.
