Connect the Initiator Site to the External Fiber Link

Locate the connection points at the initiator site that link the initiator site to the target site.

Execute the procedure in the next section if you have longwave or very long distance GBICs.

Otherwise, go the section titled “Other Transport Modes,” on page 111.

Longwave or Very Long Distance GBICs

I 1. Install longwave or very long distance GBIC now if not previously installed.

I 2. Connect a single-mode, 9-micron fiber optic cable from the longwave or very long

distance GBIC in the top switch to one connection point.

I 3. Connect another single-mode, 9-micron fiber optic cable from the longwave or very long

distance GBIC in the bottom switch to the other connection point.

Other Transport Modes

I For a list of the most current software, firmware, patches, drivers, and so on, for each of the

supported operating systems in your DRM solution, refer to the DRM Release Notes.

The initiator site is now physically linked to the target site. See Figure 21 for a diagram of the

cabling.

Note: You can verify that switches and ports are connected as you have documented them by

issuing the nbrStateShow switch command. Issue the topologyShow switch command to

reveal whether you have more than one fiber optic cable between the switches at each site.

1 Connection points to target site

2 Cable from port 6 of the top switch to one connection point

3 Cable from port 6 of the bottom switch to the other connection point
