Figure 23. Connecting the Ethernet cables
Step 2.
Optionally, connect Ethernet port 2 of each node canister in the system to a second IP network
that will provide redundant connection to the system management interfaces, as shown by the
lighter cable connection in Figure 23 "Connecting the Ethernet cables" on page 25.This port can
also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the system by hosts on the network. If there is more than
one control enclosure in the system, ensure that port 2 of every node canister is connected to the
same network to provide access if the configuration node fails.
Step 3.
Optionally, connect Ethernet port 3 of both node canisters in a system to the networks that will
provide extra 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.
Connecting Fibre Channel cables to a 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host
interface adapter
If 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host interface adapters are installed on your Lenovo Storage V7000 system,
you can use Fibre Channel cables to connect them to your 10 Gbps Ethernet or FCoE SAN.
The Fibre Channel cables are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the same number of cables
connected.
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
Step 1.
If optional 4-port 10 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapters 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.
Figure 24 "Example configuration with Ethernet cables connected to 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host
interface adapters" on page 26 shows an example configuration with a pair of Ethernet cables connected to
port 3 in each canister.
