Sample Cabling for Two Hosts, FC Switch Topology
FIGURE 4-5
5. Plug the other end of the cable either into an HBA in the host (direct topology)
or into a FC switch topology.
Note – The SAS host interface does not support a switch topology.
6. Affix a label to each end of the cable with this information. A label is important
if you need to disconnect cables to service a controller. Include this information
on the labels:
Host name and the HBA port (for direct topology)
■
Switch name and the port (for FC switch topology)
■
Controller ID (for example, controller A)
■
Host channel ID (for example, host channel 1)
■
Example label abbreviation: Assume that a cable is connected between port 1 in
HBA 1 of a host named Engineering and host channel 1 of controller A. A label
abbreviation could be as follows.
