This illustration shows an example of cable connections between two Fibre Channel ports (one on
each VIO enclosure) and four Fibre Channel disk modules in a single daisy-chain configuration:
Two VIO enclosures, four Fibre Channel ports, and four Fibre Channel disk modules with an ID
expander do not provide fault-tolerant mirrored disk storage. Installing each mirrored disk in the
same corresponding FCDM and bay number as its primary disk is not required, but it is recommend
to simplify the physical management and identification of the disks.
This table lists the Fibre Channel port group-module-slot-port (GMSP) and disk group-module-shelf-bay
(GMSB) identification for the factory-default system disk locations in a daisy-chained configuration:
