Connecting Ethernet cables to the node canisters

The control enclosures have several Ethernet ports on the rear of each node canister. The ports provide
access to system management facilities and can also provide iSCSI connectivity. The number of ports and
their initial function differ across each system model.
Procedure
To install the Ethernet cables, complete the following steps.
1. If you have a Storwize V5010 or Storwize V5020 system, complete the following steps.
a) Identify the location and function of the Ethernet ports on your system; refer to Figure 125 on page
120 and Figure 126 on page 121.
• Port 1 can be used to provide Ethernet connections; in the figures, port 1 is identified by the
green cable.
• Port 2 serves as the technician port when the system is initially set up or when service is needed.
In the figures, port 2 is identified by the blue cable. After the system initializes, port 2 can also be
used for iSCSI connectivity or IP replication.
Note: Do not connect port 2 to a network switch until the system initialization or service is
complete. After the system initializes, the technician port is automatically disabled and port 2 can
be used for Ethernet connectivity. However, when port 2 is used to perform system service, you
must first enter the satask chserviceip -techport disable command to disable the
technician port. You can then use port 2 to provide additional Ethernet connectivity.
b) Connect Ethernet port 1 of each node canister in the system to the IP network that will provide a
connection to the system management interfaces.
