6.2 HP IBRIX 9000 Storage Network Best Practices Guide (TA768-96069, December 2012)

To make the diagrams clearer, tigures 17 and 18 do not show the internal management and VC
cross link connections. In the physical implementation, those internal connections are present.
The VC modules are cross linked through connectors X7 and X8 to provide redundant paths from
the enclosure midplane to the external network. The connection of X7 and X8 is internally
implemented on the enclosure midplane. External cables should not be plugged into VC connections
X7 and X8.
FSN physical hardware mapping
Table 12 shows the mapping of the logical networks to the server blade and VC interconnect
hardware for the addition of one physical user network.
