About the direct-connected network configuration
A direct-connected network configuration for a Federation with two OmniCube servers uses the 10GbE
connections for the SimpliVity Storage and Federation networks. It uses redundant 1GbE connections to
1GbE switches for the Management network.
Figure 27: Direct-connected Storage network configuration
Configuration guidelines:
•
You cannot use direct connections for the Storage and Federation networks if you have three or more
systems in a Federation datacenter or cluster.
•
For each system, you can use two SFP+ Direct Attach (Twinax) cables (or Fiber Optic cables) to
directly connect the 10GbE network interfaces.
•
For each system, you use two network cables to connect the 1GbE network interfaces to different
1GbE switches. 1GbE cables are not provided in the shipping carton.
•
Port 1 on system A must connect to port 1 on system B and port 2 on system A must connect to port 2
on system B.
