Cabling the HA interconnect, if necessary

If the storage controllers in the HA pair are in separate chassis, you must cable the HA interconnect between the controllers.

About this task

This task must be performed at both MetroCluster sites.

The HA interconnect must be cabled only if the storage controllers in the HA pair are in separate chassis. Some storage controller models support two controllers in a single chassis, in which case they use an internal HA interconnect.

Steps

Cable the HA interconnect if the storage controller's HA partner is in a separate chassis.

If the storage controller is a...	Do this...
FAS80xx with I/O Expansion Module	Connect port ib0a on the first controller in the HA pair to port ib0a on the other controller. Connect port ib0b on the first controller in the HA pair to port ib0b on the other controller.
62xx	Connect port 2a (top port of NVRAM8 card in vertical slot 2) on the first controller in the HA pair to port 2a on the other controller. Connect port 2b (bottom port of NVRAM8 card in vertical slot 2) on the first controller in the HA pair to port 2b on the other controller.
32xx	Connect port c0a on the first controller in the HA pair to port c0a on the other controller. Connect port c0b on the first controller in the HA pair to port c0b on the other controller.

Repeat this task at the MetroCluster partner site.
