Cabling the Ethernet switch
One switch – HP ProCurve 29xx series – non-redundant
To the media ports make one iSCSI connection from each K2 client or other iSCSI
client, and one to four iSCSI connections from the K2 Media Server.
To the control ports make a connection from each K2 client or other iSCSI client,
from the RAID storage chassis, and from the control point PC. Also make the FTP
network connection and the control network connection from the K2 Media Server.
If you have optional NH1 K2 Media Servers, connect their FTP network
connections and control network connections to control ports on the switch.
If you have optional NH1-10GE K2 Media Servers, connect their 10 Gig FTP
network connections to 10 Gig ports on the rear of the switch and connect their
control network connections to control ports on the switch. Switches have two 10
Gig connectors standard and two 10 Gig connectors optional, so to connect three
or four severs to a switch, you must first install the optional 10 Gig connectors in
the switch.
Two switches – HP ProCurve 29xx series – redundant
To the media ports on switch A, make the “A” media (iSCSI) network connection
from each K2 client. Also make one to four media (iSCSI) connections from K2
Media Server A.
To the media ports on switch B, make the “B” media (iSCSI) network connection
from each K2 client. Also make one to four media (iSCSI) connections from K2
Media Server B.
To the control ports on switch A, make one connection from each K2 client, from
RAID controller 0, and from the control point PC. Also make the control network
connection and the FTP network connection from K2 Media Server A.
