You must determine the cabling for the new controller modules and any new disk shelves to the existing FC switches.

About this task

This task must be performed at each MetroCluster site.

Step

Use the Fabric-attached MetroCluster Installation and Configuration content to determine the cabling layout for your switch type, using the port usage for an eight-node MetroCluster configuration. The FC switch port usage must match the usage described in the content so that the Reference Configuration Files (RCFs) can be used.

Go to References to link to the Fabric-attached MetroCluster Installation and Configuration content.

Note If your environment cannot be cabled in a way that RCFs can be used, contact technical support. Do not use this procedure if the cabling cannot use RCFs.
