switches/four servers
Connecting a P2000 G3 Combo FC/iSCSI MSA
dual-controller array enclosure to four switches/four servers
in a dual-path configuration requires eight (8) Fibre
Channel cables and eight (8) Ethernet cables.

switches/two servers
Connecting a P2000 G3 10GbE iSCSI MSA
dual-controller array enclosure to two switches/two servers
in a dual-path configuration requires four (4) 10GbE SFP+
cables and four (4) Ethernet host cables.
P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA connected to four switches/four servers
Connecting a P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA dual-controller array
enclosure to four switches/four servers in a dual-path
configuration requires sixteen (16) Ethernet cables.

Connect the P2000 G3 MSA System to a remote
management host
The management host directly manages systems
out-of-band over an Ethernet network.
1. Connect an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet
network management port on each P2000 G3 MSA
System controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a
network that your management host can access
(preferably on the same subnet).
Connect two P2000 G3 MSA Systems to replicate
volumes
Remote Snap replication is a licensed disaster-recovery
feature that performs asynchronous (batch) replication of
block-level data from a volume on a primary P2000 G3
MSA System to a secondary volume on the same system
or on a separate, independent P2000 G3 MSA System.
Two associated master volumes form a replication set,
with only the primary volume (source of data) mapped for
access by a server. Both systems must be licensed to use
replication and must be connected through switches to the
same fabric or network (direct attach is not supported).
Cabling configuration possibilities are many, including:
Single-controller — Multiple servers/single
network/two switches
Dual-controller — Multiple servers/different
networks/multiple switches
Dual-controller — Multiple servers/single
network/single switch
For more information about Remote Snap and Remote
Snap cabling requirements and examples, see
"Connecting two storage systems to replicate volumes" in
the HP P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA System User Guide.
After the P2000 G3 MSA Systems are physically cabled,
see the HP P2000 G3 MSA System SMU Reference Guide
or online help for information about configuring,
provisioning, and using this optional Remote Snap feature.
