Task 1: Prepare a Site Plan

For each director, switch, or equipment rack installed, design a site plan that
provides efficient work flow, operator convenience and safety, and adequate
service clearances for the equipment rack.
A customer manager should review the site plan with a service representative and
consider:
SAN High Availability Planning Guide
Location and relationship of the physical facilities, such as walls, doors,
windows, partitions, furniture, and telephones.
Proximity of the director or switch to servers and storage peripherals, and if a
multi-switch fabric is to be enabled, proximity of participating fabric elements
to each other.
Location of at least one analog phone line to aid in installation and
serviceability.
Availability of Ethernet local area network (LAN) connections and cabling to
support remote user workstation and simple network management protocol
(SNMP) management station access. Remote user and SNMP workstations
are optional.
Equipment rack locations, Ethernet cabling, and the Internet Protocol (IP)
addressing scheme to support optional rack interconnection and HAFM
appliance consolidation.
Power requirements, including an optional uninterruptable power supply
(UPS).
Lengths of power cables and location of electrical outlets (for directors,
switches, and the HAFM appliance) having the proper phase, voltage,
amperage, and ground connection.
WARNING:
An insulated grounding conductor identical in size, insulating
material, and thickness to the grounded and ungrounded branch-circuit
