An HCP system has a primary Fibre Channel port and a secondary Fibre Channel port. Both of the ports are located on the HBA card. Before connecting them to the switches, make sure an SFP transceiver is present in both the primary and secondary Fibre Channel ports on each node.
The following image shows a G11 Node with four 10G BASE-T ports for the front-end and back-end Ethernet ports and two Fibre Channel ports. The orange frames indicate the Fibre Channel ports. The Fibre Channel ports are in the same location for any other attached storage network configuration.
PRI denotes primary ports and SEC denotes secondary ports.
If the ordered HCP system has no Fibre Channel switches, the HCP G11 Nodes are cabled directly to the storage arrays. If the ordered HCP system has Fibre Channel switches, the HCP G11 Nodes are cabled to the Fibre Channel switches. Follow the cabling instructions in the appropriate section for the HCP system you are building.
