BladeCluster Solution Manual

Figure 17 Example of a BladeCluster/Multi-Zone Long-Haul Topology Clustered with a 6780
ServerNet Cluster
BladeCluster Node Connections to the BladeCluster/6780 Solution
CAUTION:
All connections must be done under the guidance of the Add Node to ServerNet Cluster guided
procedure. Wait until the procedure prompts you to make the connections. If you are adding a
node to a BladeCluster/6700 Series Solution, you must make all connections to both types of
clusters before continuing with the procedure. For the connections to the Advanced Cluster Hubs,
see Chapter 4 (page 43).
