Switch-connect configurations
For switch-connect configurations, connect cables from
the P2000 G3 MSA controller to the switch ports, and
from switch ports to data hosts.
Consider the following about figures in this section:
These figures show simple, common cabling
configurations. Other cabling configurations exist.
These figures show generic representations of
servers and switches.
Simple, common cable configurations are included
in this document. For additional supported
cable/controller configurations, see the HP P2000
G3 MSA System Cable Configuration Guide,
available at http://www.hp.com/support/manuals.
P2000 G3 FC MSA connected to two switches/two
servers
Connecting a P2000 G3 FC MSA dual-controller array
enclosure to two switches/two servers in a dual-path
configuration requires eight (8) Fibre Channel cables.
P2000 G3 Combo FC/iSCSI MSA connected to four
switches/four servers
Connecting a P2000 G3 Combo FC/iSCSI MSA
dual-controller array enclosure to four switches/four
servers in a dual-path configuration requires eight (8)
Fibre Channel cables and eight (8) Ethernet cables.
