Switched cluster

Controller A: Connect port e0c to switch 1 and

port e0d to switch 2. Controller B: Connect

port e0c to switch 1 and port e0d to switch 2.

Connect ports e0a to e0a and ports e0b to e0b

(HA interconnect only).

Connect ports to the 100 GbE data network

switches (optional, configuration dependent).

Connect ports to the FC data network switches

(optional, configuration dependent).

Connect the Wrench port (e0M/BMC) to the

management switches.
