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 Storwize
V5000 Gen2 system, you can use Fibre Channel cables to connect them to your 10
Gbps 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 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.
