Connecting storage: Using a single PFC500
This section describes how to connnect and set up Profile XP storage using a single
PFC500 Fibre Channel RAID Chassis and optional PFC500E expansion chassis.
After completing the procedures in this section, you must configure the PFC500
System. See “Configuring storage using Disk Utility” on page 69.
To connect storage using a single PFC500:
1. Connect fibre channel cabling as shown in the figure.
The figure shows how Port B on the Profile XP system is used to provide a
connection to the optional redundant controller in PFC500’s. This provides a
redundant connection to the Fibre Channel RAID drives in the event a failure
occurs on the primary controller board attached to Port A. When failover occurs,
the system continues to run with minimal interruption.
2. Set the chassis addresses on the PFC500 and each PFC500E chassis (if installed)
as shown in the figure. The PFC500 chassis address must be set to 0.
PFC500 (Chassis Address = 0)
PFC500E (Chassis Address = 1)
PFC500E (Chassis Address = 2)
