Each controller's FC-VI adapters must be cabled directly to its partner.
Steps
-
Cable the FC-VI ports.
The above illustration is a typical representation of the required cabling. The specific FC-VI ports vary by controller module.
-
AFF A300 and FAS8200 controller modules can be ordered with one of two options for FC-VI connectivity:
-
Onboard ports 0e and 0f configured in FC-VI mode.
-
Ports 1a and 1b on an FC-VI card in slot 1.
-
-
AFF A700 and FAS9000 storage systems controller modules use four FC-VI ports each.
