Cabling Your Cluster Hardware

Figure 2-4. Direct-Attached Cluster Configuration
Each cluster node attaches to the storage system using two Fibre optic cables
with duplex local connector (LC) multimode connectors that attach to the
HBA ports in the cluster nodes and the storage processor (SP) ports in the
Dell|EMC storage system. These connectors consist of two individual Fibre
optic connectors with indexed tabs that must be aligned properly into the
HBA ports and SP ports.
NOTICE:
Do not remove the connector covers until you are ready to insert the
connectors into the HBA port, SP port, or tape library port.
NOTE:
The connections listed in this section are representative of one proven
method of ensuring redundancy in the connections between the cluster nodes and
the storage system. Other methods that achieve the same type of redundant
connectivity may be acceptable.
