Storage Port Connections
Connect the SAN storage devices or fabric to the V-Switch 2000 using the
FC/SCSI storage ports.
The storage ports are located on the front right of the V-Switch 2000. The
type of storage ports on your V-Switch 2000 will vary depending on your V-
Switch 2000 order specifications – either two SCSI or two FC ports.
The V-Switch 2000 contains a storage auto-discovery function. At power-
up the V-Switch 2000 automatically scans for and registers all attached and
powered up network storage devices.
If you are building a V-Switch 2000 cluster, power up each disk one at a
time after connecting them to the powered-up V-Switches. This allows
each disk to be numbered with the same default disk number on each V-
Switch 2000 during auto-discovery. This will make cluster configuration
easier. For more information on V-Switch 2000 clusters, see “V-Switch
Cluster Configuration,” page 71.
