Control Enclosure Ethernet Network Connections - IBM Storwize V7000 Unified Quick Installation Manual

About this task
This task guides you through connecting both the internal and external Ethernet
connections for your system.
This task assumes that your initial planning has determined where the Ethernet
cables are to be located. The Storwize V7000 Unified control enclosure requires at
least one and a maximum of two 1 Gbps Ethernet connections. Refer to Figure 37,
Figure 38 on page 49, and Table 15 on page 49. For the file modules, the first two 1
Gbps Ethernet ports labelled 1 and 2 in Figure 39 on page 50 are used for
internal communications between the file modules. The third and fourth 1 Gbps
Ethernet ports are used for management and data (if needed). All 10 Gbps Ethernet
ports are dedicated to data. Management cannot be performed over the 10 Gbps
Ethernet. Refer to Figure 39 on page 50 and Table 16 on page 50.
Note: It is important that the file modules are able to communicate over the
network with the Storwize V7000 control enclosure for management, service and
optional file access.

1 Fibre Channel ports (8 Gbps). Each canister has four Fibre Channel ports.
They are in a block of four in two rows of two connectors. The ports are
numbered 1 - 4 from left to right, top to bottom. Two ports connect to the file
modules and two are connected to the SAN.
2 USB ports. Each canister has two USB ports. The ports are side by side on
the canister and are numbered 1 on the left and 2 on the right. One port is used
during installation.
3 Ethernet ports (1 Gbps). Each canister has two Ethernet ports. The ports are
side by side on the canister. They are numbered 1 on the left and 2 on the right
on the upper canister. The port locations are inverted for the lower canister. Port
1 must be connected first; the use of port 2 is optional.
4 Serial-attached SCSI (SAS) ports (6 Gbps). Each canister has two SAS ports.
The ports are side by side on the canister. They are numbered 1 on the left and 2
on the right. Port 1 must be connected first if you are adding one expansion
enclosure. Port 2 must be connected if you are adding a second expansion
enclosure.
