HP D6000 Disk Enclosure Direct Connect Cabling Guide

Cabling
Connecting a D6000 in a single-domain environment
to one server
This example illustrates cabling for a single-domain environment, with both D6000 storage drawers being
accessed by the same server. In this example, one 2-port controller is installed in the server.
Note the following:
• One cable from the D6000 storage drawer to the server provides single-domain connectivity. For
dual-domain support, an additional 6G, D6000 I/O module must be installed in the storage drawer
and cabled to the same server.
• The cable is connected to the D6000 primary I/O module, SAS port 1.
• For consistency across all D6000 deployments, even though SAS port 1 and SAS port 2 are functionally
equivalent, HP recommends using only I/O module SAS port 1 in direct-connect environments.
