Cabling

Cabling Diagrams

The diagrams in the sections that follow illustrate how to properly connect storage controllers or cabinets, either in standalone or clustered configurations, to one or more disk shelves or expansion cabinets. Use the images as a key to understanding how the abstracted diagrams correspond to actual hardware:

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7120

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7320

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7320 Cluster

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7420 (2 HBAs)

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7420 (3 HBAs)

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7420 (4 HBAs)

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7420 Cluster (2 HBAs)

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7420 Cluster (3 HBAs)

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7420 Cluster (4 HBAs)

• Connecting Expansion Storage to the 7700

Oftentimes, the need to expand storage requires the addition of another HBA to your storage controller. While in single-head configurations, this is not possible to do without disrupting service. In a clustered configuration, the heads can be powered down individually for servicing and reconnected to the new storage chain. For instructions, refer to the following sections of the Sun ZFS 7x20 Appliance Service Manual available at http://wikis.sun.com/display/fishworks.

• Expanding from 2 to 3 HBAs

• Expanding from 3 to 4 HBAs
