Zoned Storage-Single Domain, Wide-Port Cabling - HP 2000sa Deployment Manual

Zoned storage—single domain, wide-port cabling
This example illustrates high-performance cabling for a single-domain configuration using single-port
SATA drives. In this configuration, note the following:
An additional cable from each MDS600 I/O module to an adjacent port on the switch offers
additional performance: one cable provides a x4 connection; two cables provide a x8
(wide-port) connection. For more information on switch ports, x4, and x8 (wide-port) cabling,
see "HP StorageWorks 3Gb SAS BL Switch" (page
IMPORTANT:
connect to one of the following pairs of switch ports: 1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 7/8.
When using wide-port cabling, both cables from an MDS600 I/O module must
