Planning for configuration

You can plan for the configuration data that you must provide as you install a
control enclosure and accompanying expansion enclosures and file modules.
Note: Additional details about configuring the system are included in the
installing information.
Plan to attach two CAT 5 Ethernet cables, which is the minimum cable quality, to
port 1 of both node canisters in the control enclosure for management connections,
as described in the following table. You can also configure these ports for iSCSI
host attachment.
When a 10 Gbps Ethernet adapter is installed in Storwize V7000 Gen1 canisters,
there are four Ethernet ports. The 1 Gbps Ethernet ports are numbered 1 and 2,
and the 10 Gbps Ethernet ports are numbered 3 and 4. Only the 1 Gbps Ethernet
ports can be used for configuration or management. Either the 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps
Ethernet ports can be used for iSCSI or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)
connections.
When a 10 Gbps Ethernet adapter is installed in Storwize V7000 Gen2 node
canisters, there are seven Ethernet ports. The 1 Gbps Ethernet ports are numbered
1, 2 and 3, and the 10 Gbps Ethernet ports are numbered 4, 5, 6, and 7. Only the 1
Gbps Ethernet ports can be used for configuration or management. Either the 1
Gbps or 10 Gbps Ethernet ports can be used for iSCSI or FCoE connections.
Make a note of the management IP address that is assigned to the file modules.
Use Table 18 to record the management IP addresses that are allocated for use by
the volume storage system.
