Connecting Fibre Channel cables to the control enclosure

If your system has one or more Fibre Channel adapters installed, use Fibre Channel cables to connect the two node canisters in the enclosure to the switches in the Fibre Channel SAN.

Before you begin

Obtain the Network cable connections worksheet that you completed during your planning to determine the number of required cables and their intended port locations.

Procedure

To install the cables, complete the following steps.

  1. Referring to the Network cable connections worksheet, connect the required number of Fibre Channel cables to the node canisters in the control enclosure.
    Note: Both canisters must have the same number of cables connected.
  2. To connect additional Fibre Channel cables, connect the same number of cables to each canister.
