multiple 7133 cabling with HACMP

[g. doogle]

I need suggestions on cabling three 7133-D40's to two nodes in an
HACMP environment. Each node has two 4225 adapter cards. Two of the
drawers will be used in a production environment and one will hold
only a testvg with testing data. One production drawer holds 9g drives
and the second production drawer has 36g drives. The test drawer
holds 9g drives and has very little activity. The testvg will not be
imported to the primary node, it will only be used by the secondary
node during standby time. How can I cable this so that the test drawer
is at the end of the production loops? I'm more concerned with
production response time and availability than I am with response time
on the testing side. Each of the production drawers will be defined as
two raid5 arrays covered by hot spares.

I've read most of the redbooks and docs but would like some real life
input.
Thanks.

Hallo g.,

you might have a look at the matilda homepage for some real life examples
for SSA cabling:
