Connecting to the SAN
This section provides instructions for connecting StoreAge SVM appliances,
SANbox SSPs, and hosts to the storage area network.
3.4.1
Connecting StoreAge SVM Appliances to the SAN
When setting up a high-availability configuration, you must make sure that each
SVM appliance:
■ Is connected through the back-side fabric to both SANbox SSPs.
■ Can access all storage ports.
To connect SVM appliances to the SAN in a high-availability configuration:
1. Power up one SVM appliance, and connect the first port to the switch labeled
FC Switch A in the configuration diagram, shown in Figure 2-4.
2. Connect the SVM appliance’s second port to the switch labeled FC Switch B.
3. Power up the other SVM appliance, connect its first port to the switch labeled
FC Switch A, and then connect its second port to the switch labeled FC Switch B.
4. Create two zones: one zone on FC Switch A named Zone back_A, and another
zone on FC switch B named Zone back_B.
5. Add the ports on the SVM appliance to the new zones.
