CAUTION: If you remove any cables other than the ones added to enable redundant path support, the enclosure
and disks can get disconnected, and virtual disk may fail.
Perform the following steps to configure the hardware to utilize redundant paths on the PERC H810 card:
1.
Set up an enclosure on the PERC H810 card.
2.
Connect two SAS cables from the Out ports on your PERC H810 card to the In ports of the external enclosure. For
more information, see the following figure.
NOTE: For information on Unified Mode, see the enclosure documentation that was shipped with the
enclosure.
3.
To add multiple enclosures, cable both Out ports of the first enclosure to both In ports of the next enclosure.
4.
After you set up the hardware, the controller detects the redundant paths and automatically utilizes them to
balance the I/O load.
