354 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
Ensure that all systems are running a software level that enables them to recognize the other
nodes in the cluster. Also, ensure that the systems use Fibre Channel adapters at the same
speed. To avoid performance bottlenecks, do not use a combination of 8 Gbps and 16 Gbps
links.
Examples of how to connect a Storwize V5000 Gen1 to a Storwize V5030 system are shown
in Figure 7-2 and Figure 7-3.
