Configuration Rules and Examples for FAS20xx Systems

Configuration Rules and Examples for
FAS20xx Systems
This flyer (previously named Supported Configurations for FAS20xx Series Systems) describes
example connections for the onboard Fibre Channel (FC) ports (0a and 0b) for FAS20xx systems and
the onboard SAS port (0d) on the FAS2040 system. For FAS2050 systems, this flyer also describes
supported connections for the expansion PCI card, which adds additional FC ports (1a through 1d,
depending on the adapter), SAS ports, or an SCSI port.
FAS20xx configuration options
Storage protocol
Depending on the storage protocols, the FC or SAS ports attach to disk
shelves or backup devices, and/or the FC ports can attach to a SAN using
the FC Protocol, in addition to disk shelf and backup device connections.
See the iSCSI and Fibre Channel Configuration Guide on
http://now.netapp.com for more information.
Controller redundancy
Active/active configuration. The system has two redundant controller
modules.
Stand-alone configuration. The system has one controller module.
Internal/external storage
Internal disks. Internal disks in the system chassis are used.
Note
Systems can have both
internal and external storage.
External disks. The system connects to one or more disk shelf loops of
one or more DS14mk2, DS14mk4, or DS4243 disk shelves.
Disk shelf connection
redundancy
Multipath configuration. The controller has multiple connections to disks
on the disk shelves. The OUT ports of the last disk shelf in the disk shelf
loop are connected back to a FC port on each controller.
Multipath is the preferred configuration.
Dual-path configuration. The controller has two connections to disks on
the disk shelves.
Single-path configuration. The disk shelves have a single connection to
the controller.
This configuration is not preferred.
Backup devices
External backup devices. The system connects to a tape backup device.

Connectivity Rules
Use the following connectivity rules when cabling a FAS20xx system.
Fibre Channel Connectivity Rules
A Fibre Channel port can be connected to storage shelves or tape drives when configured as an initiator
or to SAN hosts or FC switches when configured as a target. See the Data ONTAP documentation for
the fcadmin command and the Fibre Channel and iSCSI Configuration Guide for more information.
Because of limited port density, the FAS20xx systems support single-path Fibre Channel
configurations, but the best practice is to use dual-path or Multipath configurations.
SAS Connectivity Rules
The FAS2040 onboard SAS port and FAS2050 expansion SAS ports can only be connected to SAS
storage. Refer to the DS4243 Installation and Service Guide on http://now.netapp.com/ for additional
information on SAS and ACP connectivity.
Because of limited port density, the FAS2040 systems support single-path SAS configurations. On
FAS2050 systems, dual-path configurations are preferred.
The FAS2040 and FAS2050 systems support Fibre Channel storage or tape drives along with SAS
storage. For example, the Fibre Channel storage configuration on FAS2040-3 on page 16 and the SAS
storage configuration FAS2040-7 on page 19 can be combined together.
