On the Astra ES controller, connect one of the Fibre Channel data ports to your Fibre Channel switch.
To establish the management path:
1. On the Astra ES controller, connect the Management Port to your network switch.
2.
Connect the Host PC’s or Server’s standard NIC to your network switch.
Configuring JBOD expansion:
To expand the number of disk drives:
1. On the RAID controller, connect the SAS connector (a subtractive-routed port) to CN1 (a table-routed port)
on the I/O module of the first JBOD unit.
2. Connect CN3 (a subtractive-routed port) on the first JBOD unit to CN1 on one of the I/O modules of the next
JBOD unit.
3. Connect the remaining JBOD units in the same manner.
You can expand a SAN system with no single point of failure. Such an arrangement requires:
•
•
Two Fibre Channel switches
•
Two Fibre Channel HBA cards in each Host PC or Server
•
A network switch (not shown)
•
A network interface card (NIC) in each Host PC or Server
This completes management and data connections for Astra ES Fibre Channel Host.
