Clustered head nodes must be connected together using the cluster interconnect ports located at the back of the controller.
Figure 10-11 ZS3-2 Cluster Cabling
The ZS3-2 controller provides three redundant links that enable the heads to communicate: two serial links (the first two connectors) and an Ethernet link (the third connector).
Using straight-through Cat 5-or-better Ethernet cables, (three 1m cables ship with your cluster configuration), connect the head node according to the diagram at left.
The cluster cabling can be performed either prior to powering on either head node, or can be performed live while executing the cluster setup guided task. The user interface will show the status of each link, as shown later in this page. You must have established all three links before cluster configuration will proceed.
Figure 10-12 ZS3-4 and 7x20 Cluster Cabling
The ZS3-4 and 7x20 controllers provide three redundant links that enable the heads to communicate: two serial links (the outer two connectors) and an Ethernet link (the middle connector).
Using straight-through Cat 5-or-better Ethernet cables, (three 1m cables ship with your cluster configuration), connect the head node according to the diagram at left.
The cluster cabling can be performed either prior to powering on either head node, or can be performed live while executing the cluster setup guided task.
