I normally cable the EVAs such that ports 1 and 3 of each controller go to one fabric and ports 2 and 4 to the other.
For the EVA5000 I do port 1 of each controller to Fabric A and port 2 to Fabric B.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionThere used to be some different cabling requirements/"best practices" for CA back in the day, but that has effectively been changed to be this simple...
Odd ports go to fabric 1
Even ports go to fabric 2
(on a 8x00.. FP1 and FP3 would be in fabric 1, and FP2 and FP4 would be in fabric 2)
so.. back in the day... we used to do:
FP1A and FP2B to fabric 1 (Port 1 on controller A and Port 2 on Controller B)
FP1B and FP2A to fabric 2 {Port 2 on Controller A and Port 1 on Controller B)
(on a 3000/5000 for instance)
So the way you are doing your cabling seems "right" at the moment.

Re: Cabling EVA8000/8100 for CA
a cross-cabling (C1 FP1 and C2 FP2 to fabric 1, and C2 FP2 and C2 FP1 to fabric 2) is only needed if you have an EVA with VCS 3.x. With VCS 4.x and XCS you need a straight-cabling. This is also done with CA. For example in a data migration enviroment (move data from a VCS 3.x EVA5000 to a EVA6400) you need a cross-cabling for the EVA5000 and a straigt-cabling for the EVA6400. This is supported, but only for a short period for data migration.
So in you case you cabling is fine.
Best regards,
Patrick
