Cabling DE3-24 Disk Shelves to ZS7-2 Mid-range (MR) Controllers

This section contains guidelines for properly cabling standalone and clustered ZS7-2 MR controllers to DE3-24 disk shelves.

To connect to one or more disk shelves, use the diagrams in the following topics:

ZS7-2 MR Standalone to DE3-24 Disk Shelves (2 HBAs)

The following figures show a subset of the supported configurations for Oracle ZFS Storage ZS7-2 MR standalone controllers with two HBAs. To cable the controller to the disk shelves, see Getting Started with Cabling.


Note -  For port locations, see the hardware overview section for the corresponding controller in Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance Installation Guide.
