Caution –

Be careful not to mount the same drive twice if you are not using

multipathing software.

B.7.3

Changing Your SFP Configuration on JBOD Arrays

SANnet II 200 FC JBOD arrays use SFP connectors to attach to Fibre Channel ports
on your host computer. You might need to move or add one or more SFP connectors to
your SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array to connect it to your host computer.

To make connections to an empty port, first slide the SFP connector into the port so
that it connects firmly with the chassis. Then plug the fiber-optic cable’s SFP
connector into the duplex jack at the end of the SFP.

To remove an SFP connector, make sure no cable is connected to it and then slide it
out from the port.

B.7.4

Connecting the SANnet II 200 FC JBOD Array to a
Host Computer

Use fiber-optic cables to connect one or two HBA ports on the host computer to the
SANnet II 200 FC JBOD array, as shown in Figure B-2 and Figure B-3.
