AltocumulusDirect connect 2 rSeries
Hi,
We're going to buy 2 rSeries 2000 (or 4000) and put in 2 buildings in our sites, with distance over 500m.
Can we use single mode FC cables to connect the 2 units for the HA network?
As there is no switch in between, can we use 2 FC cables to form LACP LAG or bonding for redundancy? If both LACP and bonding are not supported, will there be any other option available ?
If the configuration is support, do we need to buy special SPF+ for single mode FC cables?
Thanks and Regards
Hey Hi, yes, you can use single-mode FC cables for HA network between the rSeries units. You can also use 2 FC cables for redundancy. Special SPF+ for single-mode FC cable.
Hello, yes adding a management IP address as failover in case the HA network in a DSC is down is possible.
Thank you.

sysAdmHi, thanks for your help.
We can form LACP LAG using the 2 FC cables, right?
Besides link level redundancy, seems can add management IP address as failover IP in case the HA network in a DSC is down?
Sorry for the newbie questions.
Thanks and Rgds
