12.2 Preparing Controllers 12.2.1 Requirements: To set up the redundant function, you must perform some basic steps. These steps will be discussed in the following section. Cabling Requirements: Communications Channels: - Controller Communications (Cache Synchronizing) Paths: Controller RCC cable 3101 & 3102 series IFT-9013 and IFT-9016 + SCSI CH0 SentinelRAID A SCSI cable (CH 0) EonRAID 2000-4 Two SCSI cables (CH 6&7) EonRAID 2000-6 Two RCC cables (IFT-9536) Fibre cables: Communications over two of the dedicated I/O channels or using all drive loops to distribute comm. traffic - Using one or two I/O channels for controller communications (as listed above) is necessary especially when write-back caching is preferred. If controllers are running in write-back mode, a battery module is recommended for each controller. - Use the default channel (CH 0) for the SentinelRAIDs. For the EonRAID users, if the communications over Fibre is preferred, the RCC cables (IFT-9536) should be connected to provide the connection between controller detect signals. Out-of-band Configuration - RS-232C cable (for Terminal Interface Operation) connection. Configuring two independent controllers into the redundant mode requires the IFT-9535. - Ethernet connection: If management through Ethernet is preferred, connect the Ethernet interface from both controllers to ports on a hub. The IP address assigned to one controller will be inherited by another should controller failover occur. Host and Drive Connection - All channels must be connected between controllers Redundant Controller 12-11
12-12 Controller Settings: Redundant Controller Setup: A Quick Access to the Configuration Process Figure 12 - 11 Redundant Controller Configuration Process 1. Enable Redundant Controller: "Main Menu"→ "View and Edit Peripheral Devices"→ "Set Peripheral Device Entry"→ "Redundant Controller Enable/Disable" 2. Controller Unique Identifier: Set unique identifier to each controller. "View & Edit Peripheral Devices"→ "Set Peripheral Device Entry"→ "Controller Unique Identifier." Enter different value for each controller from 1 to 65535. 3. Create Primary and Secondary IDs on Drive Channels: "View and Edit SCSI Channels"→ Choose a Drive Channel→ "Primary/Secondary Controller SCSI ID." Infortrend
