EK–HAHPU–MH. B01 2–3
2.3 HUB-Radiant RAID Cluster Layout - (SCSI Interconnect)
To connect two HP host servers to a RAID subsystem via use of a Hub (e.g., a
Hub-Radiant RAID cluster layout), reference Figure 2-2 and follow these steps:
1. Attach (compatible) end of the 5M adapter cable (BN38C-05) to the HD68-
pin host adapter on Host A.
2. Connect the other end of the adapter cable to a convenient hub port.
3. Attach the compatible end of the short adapter cable (BN38E-0B) to the
HD68-pin host adapter on Host B.
4. Connect the other end of the short adapter cable to the end of an UltraSCSI
cable (BN37A-05).
5. Attach the remaining end of the UltraSCSI cable to a convenient hub port.
6. Connect one end of an UltraSCSI cable (BN37A-05) to a subsystem
controller.
7. Attach the other end of the UltraSCSI cable to the remaining hub port.
8. Connect a terminator (H8863-AA) to the remaining tri-link connector on the
subsystem controller.
