New PV MD3660f
I just had a new MD3660f delivered to my COLO and I have dell support contracted for 2 parts 1st to install it and 2nd to configure it. I have never seen or configured this before so that's why I got the support. I see it shipped with
2 ASSEMBLY, ENCLOSURE, CONTROLLER, FIBER CHANNEL, MD3660F, 4GB and
4 Assembly, Transceiver, Small Form Factor Pluggable, FC8, 8G, MD36XXF
I physically have 2 fiber channel switches, at the location. Do I have Controller 1 plug into switch 1 and 2 and controller 2 plug also into switch 1 and 2. then just have each controllers management port plug into my normal network switch.
I'm just a little confused on what to have the installer do so that way I don't waist time with it comes to the configuring part.
Thanks in advance.

Hello JonCHPK,
Here is a link to the configuration guide & the deployment guide for your MD3660f. If you look at page 15 of the Dell PowerVault MD Series Fibre Channel Storage Array
Configuring Fibre Channel With Dell MD3600f/3620f/MD3660f Series Storage Arrays it shows you how you would want to cable the MD using 2 switches.
