On each controller module in the clustered Data ONTAP MetroCluster configuration, the FC-VI adapter and HBAs must be cabled to specific ports on the existing FC switches.
Steps
- Cable the FC-VI and HBA ports according to the following table:
Site A |
Site B |
Connect this Site A component and port... |
To this port on FC_switch_A_1... |
Connect this Site B component and port... |
To this port on FC_switch_B_1... |
controller_A_1 FC-VI port 1 |
32 |
controller_B_1 FC-VI port 1 |
32 |
controller_A_1 HBA port 1 |
33 |
controller_B_1 HBA port 1 |
33 |
controller_A_1 HBA port 2 |
34 |
controller_B_1 HBA port 2 |
34 |
controller_A_2 FC-VI port 1 |
35 |
controller_B_2 FC-VI port 1 |
35 |
controller_A_2 HBA 1 |
36 |
controller_B_2 HBA 1 |
36 |
controller_A_2 HBA 2 |
37 |
controller_B_2 HBA 2 |

- Cable each FC-SAS bridge in the first switch fabric to the FC switches.
The number of bridges varies depending on the number of SAS storage stacks.
