Oracle^® MiniCluster S7-2 Installation Guide

Connect the Base Storage Array to the Compute Nodes

1. Locate the two SAS cards installed in PCIe slots 2 and 3 in the two compute servers.
2. Locate the SAS ports on IOM 0 and 1 at the rear of the storage array.
3. Connect the base storage array to the compute nodes.
   

   No. Description 2 Compute node 2 1 Compute node 1 3 Top I/O module (IOM 1) in base storage array 4 Bottom I/O module (IOM 0) in base storage array

   1. Connect the dark red SAS cable.
      • On compute node 2, connect to the dark red port (SAS 1) in the SAS card installed in PCIe slot 2.
      • On the storage array, connect to the dark red port (port 1) in the top I/O module (IOM 1).
   2. Connect the light red SAS cable.
      • On compute node 2, connect to the light red port (SAS 0) in the SAS card installed in PCIe slot 3.
      • On the storage array, connect to the light red port (port 1) in the bottom I/O module (IOM 0).
   3. Connect the dark blue SAS cable.
      • On compute node 1, connect to the dark blue port (SAS 0) in the SAS card installed in PCIe slot 2.
      • On the storage array, connect to the dark blue port (port 0) in the top I/O module (IOM 1).
   4. Connect the light blue SAS cable.
      • On compute node 1, connect to the light blue port (SAS 1) in the SAS card installed in PCIe slot 3.
      • On the storage array, connect to the light blue port (port 0) in the bottom I/O module (IOM 0).
4. Determine if you have additional storage arrays that you want to connect.

   • If you have additional storage arrays that you want to connect, go to Connect Additional Storage Arrays to the Compute Nodes.

   • If you do not have additional storage arrays to connect, go to Connect the SER MGT Cable.
