External cabling for the Controllers provides the interface to the customer data network. Internal cabling supports the private management interface (PMI) and the Backend SAS Interconnect.
The following figure shows the SAN HBA ports.
1 SAN HBA ports connect the system to the customer data network (FC or iSCSI) |
The following figure shows the internal Ethernet ports and the SAS ports.
1 NET MGT port connects to the cluster interconnect port on the partner Controller (Ethernet). | 4 NET 2 port connects to the NET 2 port on the partner Controller(Ethernet). |
2 Cluster interconnect network port connects to the NET MGT port on the partner Controller (Ethernet). The cluster interconnect network port is labeled as <- - ->. | 5 SAS HBA ports connect between the Controllers and connect the Controllers to the Drive Enclosures (SAS). |
3 NET 3 port connects to the NET 1 port on the Pilot node (Ethernet). |
