Cabling the Dell|EMC SAN Gateway Solution

Ensure that your PowerVault NX1950 storage system is cabled to the
storage area network (SAN) properly and that each QLE2462 Fibre
Channel HBA port has access to the Dell|EMC storage arrays on which
you want to provision storage.
For more information, see the Dell|EMC storage array documentation.
NOTE:
The procedure for cabling the PowerVault NX1950 storage system and
your SAN is similar to the procedure for cabling any server with a QLE2462
Fibre Channel HBA. Figure 2-3 illustrates an example of cabling the
PowerVault NX1950 storage solution.
The PowerVault NX1950 storage solution supports single-node and
multiple-node (up to eight nodes) cluster configurations.
