Rack cabinet physical location

Before installing the SAN Volume Controller components, you must ensure that a suitable rack cabinet location is available.

Refer to the "Planning" section of the information center for full details of how to locate the SAN Volume Controller components in a rack cabinet. Key points to consider:

  • Plan for the 2145-DH8 nodes to be installed in a cabinet above existing SAN Volume Controller components.
  • Do not sandwich less deep units between deeper ones.
  • Allow spare rack unit space for cable runs and service access.
