SAS Physical Connections (ZFS Storage Appliance)

Each ZFS storage controller is populated with a dual-port SAS-2 HBA card. The Sun Disk Shelf also has two SIM Link In and two SIM Link Out ports. The two storage controllers connect to the Sun Disk Shelf in the following manner:

• Storage controller 1 – Both ports from the SAS-2 HBA card to the SIM Link Out ports on the Sun Disk Shelf.

• Storage controller 2 – Both ports from the SAS-2 HBA card to the SIM Link In ports on the Sun Disk Shelf.

The following figures show the SAS connections between the two storage controllers and the Sun Disk Shelf.
