Cabling the shared storage

To set up shared storage

  1. Shut down the systems in the cluster.

  2. Install the required SCSI host bus adapters and set up the external shared SCSI storage devices.

  3. Cable the external shared storage devices. With cables connected to shared storage between two systems, you must terminate the two ends of the SCSI bus on the systems. as shown in the figure.

    For more than two systems, disable SCSI termination on the systems that are not positioned at the ends of the SCSI chain.
