Connect Cables and Power on Connecting the HA interconnect The HA interconnect consists of a 10 GbE I/O module in slot 1 of each node in the HA pair. This connection between the two nodes provides the standby node with the information needed to fail over if the active node suffers a failure, and maintain the connections to hosts and clients after the failover is complete.
If using 1/10 Gb fiber Ethernet, use MMF-850nm cables with LC duplex connectors. d. For 10GBaseT connections, use Cat6a S-STP Ethernet cables. 2. Enable data transfer Fibre Channel (FC) connectivity. Repeat for each connection. Data Domain DD6300, DD6800, and DD9300 Systems 6.1 Hardware Overview and Installation Guide...
The first boot may take several minutes to complete. Note DD6300, DD6800, and DD9300 systems should be powered from redundant AC sources. Redundant power sources allow one AC source to fail or be serviced without impacting system operation. PSU0 should be attached to one AC source.
