Arrange the Fiber Channel (FC) SAN implementation tasks in the order they should be performed to build a redundant FC SAN.
Drag
- Using fiber optic cables, connect each server to each FC switch by connecting one FC HBA to one FC switch and the other FC HBA to the other FC switch.
- Deploy the shared storage devices, such as an external RAID device containing multiple hard disk drives and two FC HBAs.
- Install two Fiber Channel host buss adapters in each server that will access the shared storage on the SAN.
- Using fiber optic cables, connect each storage device to each FC switch by connecting one FC HBA to one FC switch and the other FC HBA to the other FC switch.
