Connecting a CLARiiON CX700 array

Figure 161
254 EMC VNX VG2/VG8 Gateway Configuration Setup Guide
Each CLARiiON CX700 SP has four SAN ports. If all of the SAN ports on the array
are already connected to the fabric, you need not change these connections. If the
array has two available ports on each SP, the recommended practice is to cable these
ports to the switches and dedicate them to the VNX gateway system.
If you are using two switches to connect a CLARiiON CX700 array, connect the cables
