Connecting a CLARiiON CX3-80 array

Figure 167
260 EMC VNX VG2/VG8 Gateway Configuration Setup Guide
Each CLARiiON CX3-80 SP has four SAN ports per SP. 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 CX3-80 array, connect the
cables as shown in Figure

switch ports the array will use in
