Cabling Your Cluster Hardware
Cabling Multiple SAN-Attached Clusters to a Dell/EMC Storage System
To cable multiple clusters to the storage system, connect the cluster nodes to
the appropriate Fibre Channel switches and then connect the Fibre Channel
switches to the appropriate storage processors on the processor enclosure.

Connect a cable from HBA port 1 to Fibre Channel switch 1 (sw1).
2 In the first cluster, repeat step 1 for each node.
3 For each additional cluster, repeat step 1 and step 2.
4 Connect the storage system to the SAN.

Connecting a PowerEdge Cluster to Multiple Storage Systems
You can increase your cluster storage capacity by attaching multiple storage
systems to your cluster using a redundant switch fabric. PowerEdge cluster
systems can support configurations with multiple storage units attached to
clustered servers. In this scenario, the MSCS software can fail over disk drives
in any cluster-attached shared storage array between the cluster nodes. When
attaching multiple storage systems with your cluster, the following rules apply:

There is a maximum of four storage systems per cluster.
