34 Setting Up Your PowerVault NX3500 Solution
Figure 2-3. NX3500 Node NIC Cabling
NOTE: See Figure 2-3 to connect the PowerVault NX3500 and MD ports to the
appropriate switch in the for the best practice solution in the HA option.
Best Practice Solution in the HA Option
The best practice solution is to isolate the SAN traffic from the LAN or client
traffic with redundant switches for HA. All the client cables are split between
the redundant client switches, and the SAN or internal network cables are
split between the redundant SAN switches. Peer connections are always back
to back.
NOTE: For cabling recommendation for existing MD-Series implementations that
do not have stacked switches, see “Cabling Recommendation” on page 213.
NOTE: The PowerVault NX3500 solution expects only two subnets (iSCSI ports) per
MD controller to be used by the solution. The other four ports are dedicated to
block devices.
