Storage Array Cabling Configurations

You can install the StorEdge 3510 and 3511 FC RAID arrays in several different configurations. Use the Sun StorEdge 3000 Family Best Practices Manual to help evaluate your needs and determine which configuration is best for your situation. See your Sun service provider for currently supported Sun Cluster configurations.

The following figures provide examples of configurations with multipathing solutions. With direct attach storage (DAS) configurations with multipathing, you map each LUN to each host channel. All nodes can see all 256 LUNs.

The two-controller SAN configurations allow 32 LUNs to be mapped to each pair of host channels. Since these configurations use multipathing, each node sees a total of 64 LUNs.
