HP Windows Server 2012 Cluster Pre-Planning Guide

NOTE:
• The requirement to have less than or equal to two paths is achieved by zoning each initiator
port with a different target port.
• The requirement to use two or more target ports is achieved by zoning the first 32 cluster
nodes to a pair of ports and the second 32 nodes to a different pair of ports. This effectively
spreads the initiator logins across four target ports.

NOTE: The cables connected to target ports A2 and B1 are crossed. This is to satisfy the persistent
ports requirement of having port pairs connected to the same fabrics.
