When you receive your HA pair, you should receive a list of required equipment.
For more information, see the Hardware Universe to confirm your storage system type, storage capacity, and so on.
| Required equipment | Details |
|---|---|
| Storage system | Two of the same type of storage system |
| Storage | For more information, see the Hardware Universe. |
| HA interconnect adapter card (for applicable controller modules that do not share a chassis) Note: When 32xx systems are in a dual-chassis HA pair, the c0a and c0b 10 GbE ports are the HA interconnect ports. They do not require an HA interconnect adapter.
Regardless of configuration, the 32xx system's c0a and c0b ports cannot be used for data. They are used only for the HA interconnect. |
InfiniBand (IB) HA adapter (The NVRAM adapter card functions as the HA interconnect adapter on applicable storage systems.) For more information, see the Hardware Universe |
| SAS HBAs, if applicable | Minimum of two SAS HBAs or their equivalent in onboard ports |
| Fibre Channel switches, if applicable | Not applicable |
| Small form-factor pluggable (SFP) modules, if applicable | Not applicable |
| NVRAM HA adapter media converter | Only if using fiber cabling |
| Cables (provided with shipment unless otherwise noted) |
