Dual-link full mesh topology

  • The following figure indicates the two storage networks required to create a dual-link full mesh interconnect between two clustered nodes (also known as back-to-back). The blue dots indicate the recommended cabling order, beginning with the PCIe adapter in the lowest slot #, Port 1. After cabling storage, connect all nodes, LOM/rNDC/OCP, Ports 1 and 2 to a management/VM network.
