Configuring the MetroCluster hardware components

The MetroCluster components must be physically installed, cabled, and configured at both geographic sites.

  • Parts of a MetroCluster IP configuration
    As you plan your MetroCluster IP configuration, you should understand the hardware components and how they interconnect.
  • Required MetroCluster IP components and naming conventions
    When planning your MetroCluster IP configuration, you must understand the required and supported hardware and software components. For convenience and clarity, you should also understand the naming conventions used for components in examples throughout the documentation.
  • Installing and cabling MetroCluster components
    The storage controllers must be cabled to the IP switches and the ISLs must be cabled to link the MetroCluster sites. The storage controllers must also be cabled to the storage, to each other, and to the data and management networks.
