Figure 2-8 shows an example of a two node SAN-attached cluster.
Figure 2-9 shows an example of an eight-node SAN-attached cluster.
Similar cabling concepts can be applied to clusters that contain a different
number of nodes.
NOTE:
The connections listed in this section are representative of one proven
method of ensuring redundancy in the connections between the cluster nodes and
the storage system. Other methods that achieve the same type of redundant
connectivity may be acceptable.
