Best way to connect HP SAN to servers

[Over Clocker]

Hi guys,

We've got a current system of 3x Hyper-V host servers, all running around 4 virtual machines.

We're looking to adding an HP 2040 SAN to this, with SFP direct attach cables.

I assume we just need to get a dual SFP into each server, and cable San to server 1 and Server 2 for example on one channel, then 1 to 3, 2 to 3, 1 to 2 using the 2nd channel?

Thanks,

Mal

Hi Blueboy, thanks for that.

I think I've confused myself a little, from what I've seen the DAC cables are SFP at each end aren't they?

So I'd need a dual port SFP+ card in each server?

Thanks,

Mal

Thanks guys,

So it has 4 SFP per controller, so 8 in total, meaning connecting 2 to each of the 4 hosts using 6 DAC cables in total will do the trick.

Thanks guys,
