configuration
This example illustrates cabling for a single-domain configuration. In this configuration, note the
following:
•
P1 on the disk enclosure I/O module is treated as the SAS “in” port.
•
P2 on the disk enclosure I/O module is treated as the SAS “out” port.
•
In single-domain configurations, one cable path is created between the host, the primary
disk enclosure, and additional cascaded disk enclosures. (Shown)
•
In dual-domain configurations, two cable paths are created between the host, the primary
disk enclosure, and additional cascaded disk enclosures.
1.
Host (server or controller enclosure)
2.
