Cabling the FC-VI and HBA adapters to the FC switches

The FC-VI adapter and HBAs must be cabled to the site FC switches on each controller module in the MetroCluster configuration.

1. Cable the FC-VI ports.
   The following illustration shows Brocade switches:
   
   
   The following illustration shows Cisco switches:
   
   
   Note: The Brocade and Cisco switches use different port numbering:

   • On Brocade switches, the first port is numbered 0.
   • On Cisco switches, the first port is numbered 1.

   The following tables show both Brocade and Cisco port numbering:

   Connect this site component and port...	To this port on FC_switch_x_1...
   	Brocade	Cisco
   controller_x_1 FC-VI port a	0	1
   controller_x_2 FC-VI port a	3	4

   Connect this site component and port...	To this port on FC_switch_x_2...
   	Brocade	Cisco
   controller_x_1 FC-VI port b	0	1
   controller_x_2 FC-VI port b	3	4

2. Cable the HBA ports.

   Note: The Brocade and Cisco switches use different port numbering:

   • On Brocade switches, the first port is numbered 0.
   • On Cisco switches, the first port is numbered 1.

   The following tables show both Brocade and Cisco port numbering:

   Connect this site component and port...	To this port on FC_switch_x_1...
   	Brocade	Cisco
   controller_x_1 HBA port a	1	2
   controller_x_1 HBA port c	2	3
   controller_x_2 HBA port a	4	5
   controller_x_2 HBA port c	5	6

   Connect this site component and port...	To this port on FC_switch_x_2...
   	Brocade	Cisco
   controller_x_1 HBA port b	1	2
   controller_x_1 HBA port d	2	3
   controller_x_2 HBA port b	4	5
   controller_x_2 HBA port d	5	6
