Example of Multi-Appliance FC 10GbE Cluster Configuration

The following example shows the best-practices configuration for multi-appliance Fibre Channel 10GbE clusters.

  • Client network – Each FS8600 controller has multiple connections to each stacked Ethernet switch.
  • Internal network – Each FS8600 controller has multiple connections to the stacked internal network Ethernet switches.
  • Fibre Channel SAN – Each FS8600 controller has a connection to each FC fabric (Storage Center fault domain).
    • NOTE: To simplify the diagram, only one FS8600 appliance is shown. Additional appliances in the cluster must be connected to the same client network, internal network, and FC SAN fabric.
