SPARC: Installing a Sun StorEdge Multipack Storage Array

Connect the cables to the storage array, as shown in Figure 3-11.

Ensure that the entire SCSI bus length to each storage array conforms to the distances in Table 1-1. This measurement includes the cables to both nodes, as well as the bus length that is internal to each storage array, node, and host adapter. Refer to the documentation that shipped with the storage array for other restrictions about SCSI operation.

Connect the single-ended SCSI cable between the node and the storage arrays, as shown in Figure 3-12.

Ensure that the entire SCSI bus length to each storage array conforms to the distances in Table 1-1. This measurement includes the cables to both nodes, as well as the bus length that is internal to each storage array, node, and host adapter. Refer to the documentation that shipped with the storage array for other restrictions about SCSI operation.

SPARC: Replacing a Sun StorEdge Multipack Storage Array

Disconnect the SCSI cables from the storage array. Disconnect the SCSI cable on the SCSI OUT connector, and then disconnect the cable on the SCSI IN connector, as shown in Figure 3-14.
