Connecting Fibre Channel cables to a Fibre Channel host interface
adapter
If your Storwize V7000 system has 8 Gbps Fibre Channel 4-port host interface
adapters installed, you can use Fibre Channel cables to connect them to your Fibre
Channel SAN.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
1. Connect the required number of Fibre Channel cables. Refer to the “Planning”
section of the IBM Knowledge Center for instructions on determining the
number of cables required.
Note: Both canisters must have the same number of cables connected.
Figure 128 shows an example configuration with two Fibre Channel cables
connected to each canister.
2. If you want to connect additional Fibre Channel cables, make sure to connect
the same number of cables to each canister. Figure 129 on page 140 shows an
example configuration with four Fibre Channel cables connected to each
canister.
