Cabling a MetroCluster with Fibre Channel switches

Before you begin  

To cable a MetroCluster with Fibre Channel switches, you must be familiar with clustering concepts, the Brocade command-line interface, and synchronous mirroring. You must also have the following information:

• Unique domain IDs for the switches
• Ethernet IP address
• Ethernet subnetmask
• Gateway address

  Note
  If the nodes in your cluster are separated by less than 500 meters, see System requirements for mirrored clusters for a list of required hardware, software, settings, and setup information.

For detailed information  

For detailed information about setting up and cabling your MetroCluster with Fibre Channel switches, see the following sections:

• Step 1: Planning the MetroCluster
• Step 2: Installing and preparing the local node and disk shelves
• Step 3: Configuring the switch
• Step 4: Cabling the node, disk shelves, and switch
• Step 5: Configuring the local node
• Step 6: Setting up and configuring the remote part of the cluster
