Connecting Fibre Channel cables to a 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host
interface card
If your Storwize V7000 has 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host interface cards
installed, you can use Fibre Channel cables to connect them to your 10Gbps
Ethernet or FCoE SAN.
About this task
The Fibre Channel cables are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the
same number of cables connected.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
If optional 4-port 10Gbps Ethernet host interface cards are installed in the node
canisters, connect each port to the network that will provide connectivity to that
port. To provide redundant connectivity, connect both node canisters in a control
enclosure to the same networks.
system by hosts on the network. Where more than one control enclosure is
present in the system, ensure port 1 of every node canister is connected to the
same network to provide access in the event of configuration node fail-over.
second IP network that will provide redundant connection to the system
management interfaces, as shown by the lighter cable connection in Figure 23.
This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the system by hosts on the
network. Where more than one control enclosure is present in the system,
ensure that port 2 of every node canister is connected to the same network to
provide access in the event of configuration node fail-over.
networks that will provide additional iSCSI connectivity to the system.
Note: Do not connect the Ethernet technician port (labeled T) to a network
switch. The technician port must only be directly connected to a personal
computer when initializing a system or servicing a node.
