Multi-Path FAS3140 HA DS14MK2 (ESH2) FC Shelf Install cabling confirmation

JLundfelt — Thu, 05 Jun 2025 05:35:38 GMT

Can someone please confirm the cabling for adding a new stack of DS14MK2 FC disk shelves to an existing pair of FAS3140 controllers

Also, does anyone happen to have a list of the commands I need to run, e.g. fcadmin config –e 0a. I am using this article as reference-

Sorry, it's been awhile since I've done anything other than the SAS based DS4243 shelf installs.

Thanks!

Jon

Why on earth would you be adding ds14 mk2 shelves to any 3140. That must be out of pure desparation.....

Yep. Hand me downs from parent company. None the less, they are racked, and ready for install.

with DS14's, it's not stacks, it's called loops, and there are max 6 per loop with ds14mk4. I'm not sure about mk2. I would tell you not to even waste your time
