Drive interface ports DS4500 Storage Subsystems use only redundant drive-loop configurations. Each drive mini hub connects to Controller A and Controller B and represents a single drive loop. The drive loops must be set up in pairs to support redundant drive loop configurations (two data paths per storage expansion enclosure). See Figure 4 for an illustration of the drive-side mini-hub interface ports. Drive loop C and D for redundant loop 2 Drive loop A and B for redundant loop 1 432

Overview: Cabling a DS4500 with four drive mini hubs Review the following information carefully and then continue to “Configuring the drive loops” on page 10 perform the drive-side cabling for your DS4500 Storage Subsystem. Figure 5 on page 7 shows a storage subsystem containing one DS4500 Storage Subsystem and two redundant drive loops with four storage expansion enclosures each. The DS4500 configuration shown requires four drive mini hubs to be installed. Each storage expansion enclosur

Attention: Previous DS4500 cabling documentation identified incorrectly the connections of drive loops B and C in DS4500 configurations with four drive mini hubs installed. Drive loop B was incorrectly shown as connecting to mini hub 3 and drive loop C was incorrectly shown as connecting to mini hub 2. Do not use the incorrect connections for drive loops B and C that are currently documented in the original IBM TotalStorage DS4500 Fibre Channel Cabling Instructions (pn 25R0406) and the IB

swapping these mini-hubs, you will not need to schedule down time later for re-cabling the drive loop if additional mini hubs are installed to enable a second redundant drive loop. Attention: Re-cabling of drive loops to different drive mini hubs in an operating DS4500 Storage Subsystem configuration requires down time for the configuration.
