If you have other iSCSI clients, such as Aurora Edits, that have just one iSCSI connection and one
control connection, approximately half of the clients should be connected to switch A and half of
the clients should be connected to switch B. In a failover event, only the clients connected to one
of the switches will remain operational, so make connections accordingly. Connect the client’s
iSCSI connection to one of the media ports on a switch and the client’s control connection to one
of the control ports on the same switch.
If you have more than one optional NH10GE K2 Media Servers, balance servers between switch A
and switch B.
