Configuring the Optional Entry-Level DRM Solutions

3. Make the following connections between the hosts and the switches:
a. Connect a fiber optic cable from port 0 of Fibre Channel switch A to one adapter in
Host A.
b. Connect a fiber optic cable from port 0 of Fibre Channel switch Y to the other adapter
in Host A.
c. Connect a fiber optic cable from port 2 of Fibre Channel switch A to one adapter in
Host Y.
d. Connect a fiber optic cable from port 2 of Fibre Channel switch Y to the other adapter
in Host Y.
e. Verify the connections between the hosts and the switches by issuing the following
CLI command:
SHOW CONNECTIONS
Note: You can also verify the connection by observing the illuminated green LED that flashes on the
switch ports.
Disregard the procedure for connecting the external fiber links as described in Chapter 4 in
the sections titled “Connect the Target Site to the External Fiber Link” and “Connect the
Initiator Site to the External Fiber Link.” These procedures are not needed because the
Dual-Switch Single-Site DRM solution does not accommodate longwave GBICs or other
transport modes, because neither the controller nor the HBA support a single-mode
long-distance connection.
Single-Switch Configuration
This configuration, illustrated in Figure 23, is designed for small, single-site entry-level tests
and proof of concept demonstrations. This non-disaster-tolerant solution can also be used to
produce copies of data needed for data migration or data mining. If a 16-port switch is used,
then four ports are used for each fabric at each site. These four ports can support a maximum
of two servers and one storage array per simulated site. Similar configurations can be built
using larger port count switches. Switch zoning can be used to simulate the two logical fabrics
used by DRM. For more information on zoning, refer to your switch documentation. Refer to
the DRM Release Notes for a list of supported switches.
