Configuring Fibre Channel With Dell MD3600f/ 3620f/MD3660f Series Storage Arrays This document provides information about configuring Fibre Channel communication between the host server and the storage array.
Table 1. Configuring Fibre Channel Direct-Attached Storage Arrays SAN-Attached Storage Arrays* 1. Install the supported HBAs on your host server. 2. Cable the host server to the storage array. For more information, see Direct-Attached Cabling Examples.
Using Fibre Channel Switch Zoning A Fibre Channel switch allows you to connect multiple devices to the SAN without compromising bandwidth or data throughput.
Switch Zoning Guidelines The storage array imposes specific requirements that must be followed when setting up Fibre Channel switch zoning: • If a Fibre Channel switch is used to connect your host server and storage array, it must be zoned. Un-zoned or open switches cannot be used.
Direct-Attached Cabling Direct-attached cabling configurations provide simple, non-switched connections between the host server and storage array. Redundancy is achieved in a direct-attached configuration if two RAID controllers are installed in the storage array and multiple paths between the host sever and storage array are established.

Figure 4. Four Host Servers With Single-Port HBAs Connected to a Single-Controller Storage Array Dual Controller Configurations Figure 5 through Figure 7 show two and four host servers, each connected to two RAID controller modules.

Figure 7. Four Host Servers With Single-Port HBAs Connected to a Dual-Controller (Duplex) Storage Array Using Cluster Cabling Figure 7 shows a four-cluster node connected to two RAID controller modules. Since each cluster node has redundant paths, loss of a single path still allows access to the storage array through the alternate path.

for Remote Replication traffic. No other data traffic is allowed on that port until the Remote Replication feature is deactivated. A dedicated zone on each Fibre Channel switch is also required.
