When you receive your HA pair, you should receive the equipment listed in the following table. See the Hardware Universe (formerly the System Configuration Guide) at support.netapp.com/knowledge/docs/hardware/NetApp/syscfg/index.shtml to confirm your storage-system type, storage capacity, and so on.
Required equipment | Details |
---|---|
Storage system | Two of the same type of storage systems |
Storage | See the Hardware Universe (formerly the System Configuration Guide) at support.netapp.com/knowledge/docs/hardware/NetApp/syscfg/index.shtml |
HA interconnect adapter (for controller modules that do not share a chassis) Note: When 32xx systems are in a dual-chassis HA pair, the c0a and c0b 10-GbE ports are the HA interconnect ports. They do not require an HA interconnect adapter.
Regardless of configuration, the 32xx system's c0a and c0b ports cannot be used for data. They are only for the HA interconnect. |
InfiniBand (IB) HA adapter (The NVRAM adapter functions as the HA interconnect adapter on FAS900 series and later storage systems, except the 32xx systems) |
For DS14mk2 disk shelves: FC-AL or FC HBA (FC HBA for Disk) adapters For SAS disk shelves: SAS HBAs, if applicable |
Minimum of two FC-AL adapters or two SAS HBAs |
Fibre Channel switches | N/A |
SFP (Small Form Pluggable) modules | N/A |
NVRAM HA adapter media converter | Only if using fiber cabling |
Cables (provided with shipment unless otherwise noted) |
