CX3-20 and Powerpath - Network layout
Does anyone have a network diagram including the underlying (or overlaying) IP networks built for a CX3-20 with both SP's and a pair of database servers with two (2) NIC's connecting to it?
1. Servers - HP DL585's with Win2k3 64-bit, licensed PowerPath and two QLogic 4050C's.
2. CX3-20 with two (2) SP's each having for iscsi ports
3. Two (2) Cisco 3560G 24-port switches connected with an 8-port etherchannel trunk
What do the network layouts look like?
What are the rules for the SP's? What ports on SPA have to see what ports on SPB?
Can the server with two NIC's send traffic to all four of the ports on the SP?
Is there a secret handshake I need to access this information from EMC?
Thanks,
RP

We have two dedicated 48-port Gb Ethernet switches for iSCSI (switch A and switch B). Switch A has a connection to SP_A port 0 and SP_B port 0 on the SAN (using addresses on Class C subnet 192.168.0.x), likewise Switch B connects to SP_A port 1 and SP_B port 1 using IPs on subnet 192.168.10.x
On the hosts they have two separate dedicated iSCSI NICs, NIC 1 on subnet 1, NIC 2 on subnet 2 (no default gateways configured as the LAN connection has that).
The result is 4 active paths display in PowerPath and is the same topolgy as our fibre channel stuff.
