To configure the remote switches, complete the following steps.
To cable the node, disk shelves, and switch, complete the following steps, using the illustration for reference.
Step

Action
|
|---|
|
1 |
Cable the first FC HBA to Bank 2 of Switch 3 and Switch 4. In the example, Port A of the FC HBA is cabled to Port 8 of Switch 3 and Port B is cabled to Port 8 of Switch 4.
|
|
2 |
Cable the second FC HBA to Port 9 on both switches, with Port A on Switch 4 and Port B on Switch 4.

3 |
Connect the Pool 0 disks to Bank 1, Pool 0 of the switches by completing the following steps:
- Connect the Input port of LRC/ESH A to the port in Pool 0 in
Bank 1 on Switch 3.
- Connect the Input port of LRC/ESH B to the port in Pool 0 in
Bank 1 on Switch 4. This must be the same port number you
used for the LRC/ESH A cabling.
- Connect the first disk shelf to the next disk shelf in the loop by
connecting the Output port of the LRC/ESH of the first shelf to
the corresponding Input Port of the next disk shelf's LRC/ESH.
In the example, the Pool 0 disk shelves are connected to Switch Port 0 on both Switch 3 and 4.

4 |
Connect the Pool 1 disks to Bank 2, Pool 1 of the switches by completing the following steps:
- Connect the Input port of LRC/ESH A to the port in Pool 1 in
Bank 2 on Switch 3.
- Connect the Input port of LRC/ESH B to the port in Pool 1 in
Bank 2 on Switch 4. This must be the same port number you
used for the LRC/ESH A cabling.
- Connect the first disk shelf to the next disk shelf in the loop by
connecting the Output port of the LRC/ESH of the first shelf to
the corresponding Input Port of the next disk shelf's LRC/ESH.
In the example, the Pool 1 disk shelves are connected to Switch Port 12 on both Switch 3 and 4.

Confirm that the disks are visible and have dual paths by entering the following command on the console:
storage show disk -p
Results
The output shows the disks connected to the switches, to what port they are connected, and to what disk and to which LRC/ESH they belong, as shown in the following example:
Example
ha16*> sotorage show disk -p
PRIMARY PORT SECONDARY PORT SHELF BAY
------ ---- -------- ---- ---- --
ha15sw:2.40 A ha16sw:2.40 B 5 0
ha16sw:2.41 B ha15sw:2.41 A 5 1
.

.
ha15sw:10.52 B ha16sw:10.52 A 6 4

6 |
Connect the ISL from Switch 1 to Switch 3 and the ISL from Switch 2 to Switch 4.
|
|
7 |
Connect the VI-MC cluster adapter to the switches, with Port 1 connecting to Switch 3 and Port 2 to Switch 4.
|
|
8 |
Check to make sure the node can see all disk shelves by entering the following command on the console:
vol status -r
|
|
9 |
Go to Step 5: Configuring the nodes.
