Connecting the hardware to two nodes
Installation procedures for a two-node or multi-node system is the same as for a single-node system except for the following:
The two nodes are connected to each other through the two far-right 1Gb Ethernet ports on the rear of the nodes.
Both nodes connect to the Primary Storage Shelf.
Note:
The colored cables are for demonstration purposes only. There is only one type of FC cable.
To connect a two-node appliance
- Identify the two ports on the lower right corner of both nodes.
- Connect one Ethernet cable between the ports.
- Identify the FC ports on the nodes.
- Identify the FC ports on the Primary Storage Shelf.
- On the compute node that is located closest to the Primary Storage Shelf connect two FC cables.
- On the compute node that is located closest to the Primary Storage Shelf connect two more FC cables.
- On the compute node that is located farthest from the Primary Storage Shelf connect two FC cables.
- On the compute node that is located farthest from the Primary Storage Shelf connect two more FC cables .
- If you have Expansion Storage Shelves, proceed to the following instructions.
See “To connect Expansion Storage Shelves to a Primary shelf”.
If you do not have Expansion shelves proceed to connect the power cords.
To connect Expansion Storage Shelves to a Primary shelf
- Obtain two SAS3 cables.
- Locate the SAS3 ports in the left-hand side of each controller in the Primary shelf.
- Locate SAS3 ports A and C in both I/O modules of the Expansion shelves.
Port B is not used.
- IMPORTANT - Be sure that the blue tab on each SAS3 connector faces down. The RAID controller does not recognize an incorrectly inserted connector.
- If you have one Expansion shelf, connect it to the Primary shelf .
- If you have two Expansion shelves, connect them as shown.
