You can use the completed controller-to-stack cabling worksheets and cabling examples to cable platforms with internal storage. This applies to shelves with IOM12, IOM12B, or IOM12C modules.

  • If needed, you can refer to SAS cabling rules and concepts for information about supported configurations, shelf-to-shelf connectivity, and controller-to-shelf connectivity.

  • Cabling examples show controller-to-stack cables as solid or dashed to distinguish controller 0b/0b1 port connections from controller 0a port connections.

  • Cabling examples show controller-to-stack connections and shelf-to-shelf connections in two different colors to distinguish connectivity through IOM A (domain A) and IOM B (domain B).

FAS2820 platform in a multipath HA configuration with no external shelves

The following example shows that no cabling is needed to acheive multipath HA connectivity:

FAS2820 multipath HA with no external shelves

FAS2820 platform in a tri-path HA configuration with no external shelves

The following cabling example shows required cabling between the two controllers to achieve tri-path connectivity:
