Cabling the cluster interconnect

At each site, you must cable the cluster interconnect between the local controllers. If the local controllers are not configured as two-node switchless clusters, two-cluster switches are required.

About this task

This task must be performed at both MetroCluster sites.

Step

  1. Cable the cluster interconnect from one controller to the other, or, if cluster interconnect switches are used, from each controller to the switches.
