To install GBIC-SW modules:
1. Verify that a GBIC-SW module is installed into both ports on each array
controller.
2. Insert a GBIC-SW module into the correct port on each Storage Hub or
Fibre Channel SAN Switch (two modules for each array controller).
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other MA8000 Storage Subsystems.
Cabling an Ethernet Cluster Interconnect
The following components are used in a redundant Ethernet cluster
interconnect:
I
Two Ethernet adapters in each cluster node
I
Ethernet cables and switches or hubs
G
For two-node PDC/O5000 clusters, you can use two 100-Mbit/sec
Ethernet switches or hubs with cables to connect the servers.
G
For PDC/O5000 clusters with three or more nodes, you use two
100-Mbit/sec Ethernet switches connected by Ethernet cables to a
separate Ethernet adapter in each server.
NOTE: In a redundant Ethernet cluster configuration, one Ethernet crossover cable must
be installed between the two Ethernet switches or hubs that are dedicated to the cluster
interconnect.
To connect two or more nodes in a redundant Ethernet cluster interconnect:
1. Insert the ends of two Ethernet cables into two Ethernet adapter ports
designated for the cluster interconnect.
2. Connect the other end of one Ethernet cable to an Ethernet hub or
switch. Connect the other end of the second Ethernet cable to the second
Ethernet hub or switch.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all other nodes in the cluster.
4. Install one crossover cable between the Ethernet hubs or switches.
