Connecting SANbox SSPs to the SAN
For high-availability configurations, you must make sure that each SANbox SSP:
■ Can access all storage ports.
■ Is connected to both SVM appliances through the back-side fabric.
To connect SANbox SSPs to the SAN:
1. Using a standard multi-mode (62.5/125um) optical cable, connect ports 1 and
2 of both SANbox SSPs to the switch labeled FC Switch A in the configuration
diagram, shown in Figure 2-4.
The status LED for each SANbox SSP port transitions from off (no light) to
green when the port is connected to the SAN and the Fibre Channel link
becomes active; the port LEDs are shown in Figure 3-5:

2. Connect ports 3 and 4 of both SANbox SSP to the switch labeled FC Switch B
in the configuration diagram.
3. Create two zones: one on FC Switch A named Zone front_A, and another
zone on FC Switch B named Zone front_B.
4. Add the SANbox SSP ports connected to FC Switch A to both Zone front_A
and Zone back_A.
5. Add the SANbox SSP ports connected to FC Switch B to both Zone front_B
and Zone back_B.
