What cables to use

[Edo_de_Looff]

Hello Forum,

Kind of newbie question, but we've bought a P6550 and 2 EVA4400's 
On the P6550 controllers are 4 FC, and 2 SAS ports per controller.
The FC ports are to connect/provide access to servers, and the SAS ports to connect the EVA4400.

Only thing is, cables to EVA are missing and I cant figure out which type to use.
There are Y cables and normal ones
Can anyone provide info on what types are compatible and what is the better option?
or must it always be Ycables?

Tnx

Do you have several EVA models or just the P6550 and a couple of disk chassis? The P6550 is using Y-cables to the disks in order to create 2 "loops" for disk access.

see appendix A:

Torsten tnx for reply.

Have a 6550 and eva4400 disk.
On 4400 are 2 fc ports. Only 't hing is, all cables i see are sas on both ends

still not sure what you really have.

This is P6550 back-end

This is EVA440 shelf (AG638B controller)

[Torsten.]

AG638B is the M6412 chassis used by EVA4400, the P6000 is using M6625 and M6612 disk chassis.

EVA4400 backend (disks/disk enclosure) is fibre channel, P6000 is SAS.

I guess this won't work.
