16 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1
Three 12 Gbps serial-attached SCSI (SAS 3.0) ports. The ports are numbered 1 - 3 from
left to right. Port 1 is used to connect to the optional expansion enclosures. Ports 2 and 3
can be used to connect directly to SAS hosts. (Both 6 Gb and 12 Gb hosts are supported.)
The Storwize V5020 supports up to 10 expansion enclosures.
1.5.4 Storwize V5030
Figure 1-8 shows a single Storwize V5030 node canister.
Figure 1-8 Storwize V5030 node canister
Each node canister contains the following hardware:
Battery
Memory: 16 GB upgradable to 32 GB
Two 12 Gbps SAS ports for Expansions
One 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet technician port
Two 1/10 Gbps Ethernet ports
One USB 2.0 port that is used to gather system information
System flash
HIC slot (different options are possible)
Figure 1-8 shows the following features that are provided by the Storwize V5030 node
canister:
One Ethernet technician port (as denoted by the white box with “T” in it). This port can be
used for system initialization and service only. For more information, see Chapter 1,
“Overview of the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 system” on page 1. It cannot be used for
anything else.
Two 1/10 Gbps Ethernet ports. These ports are Copper 10GBASE-T with RJ45
connectors. Port 1 must be used for management. Port 2 can optionally be used for
management. Both ports can be used for iSCSI traffic and IP replication. For more
information, see Chapter 5, “Host configuration” on page 199 and Chapter 10, “Copy
services” on page 485.
System initialization: Unlike the Storwize V5000 Gen1, you must perform the system
initialization of the Storwize V5020 by using the technician port instead of the USB port.
Service port: Do not use the port that is marked with a wrench. This port is a service
port only.
