HP 2000I G2-Modular-Smart-Array - Manual (Page 32)

32 Connecting hosts
The 2312i Modular Smart Array and 2324i Modular Smart Array use Unified LUN Presentation (ULP) — a
controller firmware feature enabling hosts to access mapped volumes via host ports — without the need for
internal or external switches.
Connecting direct attach configurations
The 2312i G2 and 2324i G2 support up to four direct-connect server connections, two per controller.
Connect appropriate cables from the servers’ HBAs to the controller host ports as shown in the following
illustrations.
Single controller configuration
One server/one HBA/single path
Dual controller configurations
One server/one HBA/dual path
Two servers/one HBA per server/dual path
Connecting remote management hosts
The management host directly manages systems out-of-band over an Ethernet network.
1. Connect an Ethernet cable to the network port on each controller.
2. Connect the other end of each Ethernet cable to a network that your management host can access
(preferably on the same subnet).
NOTE: Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with metallic RFI/EMI connector
hoods in order to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations.
