VxFlex Ready Node R640 port designations - Linux
For single-node VxFlex Ready Node servers running RHEL or SLES, connect the cables, and configure the ports as
shown in the configuration tables according to the server type.
The following additional information should be taken into account:
l
The logical bus address is dynamic and will be allocated by the operating system. Use the slot name to correlate
to between the bus address and port name of the interface in the operating system.
l
In storage-only configurations, the customer ports can be used as additional data ports.
