The Fibre Channel switch zoning procedure is complete.
Fibre Channel fabric cabling
Make your cable connections symmetrical when cabling a multiple switch fabric. For example, for
a K2 SAN-attached client system (or Server) that has redundant connections that each go to a
different switch, if you make one connection to port 1 on switch A, make the other connection to
port 1 on switch B. This is especially important on switches that are not interconnected by ISLs, as
the Fibre Channel failover path can get confused if redundant cable connections are not in the same
order on both switches.
The preceding procedure, "Fibre Channel switch zoning", applies to a system with four K2 Media
Servers, two 16 port Fibre Channel switches, and four K2 RAID storage chassis with redundant
controllers. To cable the Fibre Channel fabric for such a system, do the following:
• Each K2 Media Server is connected to a different zone. For example, connect as follows:
• Connect K2 Media Server 1 to switch A port 0 (Zone 1)
• Connect K2 Media Server 2 to switch A port 8 (Zone 2)
• Connect K2 Media Server 3 to switch B port 0 (Zone 3)
• Connect K2 Media Server 4 to switch B port 8 (Zone 4)
There is only one Fibre Channel connection at each K2 Media Server. The second Fibre Channel
port on each K2 Media Server not used.
