Connecting Ethernet cables to 1 Gbps iSCSI 4-port host interface
adapters
If you installed an optional 1 Gbps iSCSI 4-port host interface adapter, you can use
Ethernet cables to connect the system to your Ethernet SAN.
About this task
Each system has two Ethernet ports, port 1 and port 2, that are built into the
canister. When a 4-port Ethernet host interface adapter is installed, the port
number starts at 3.
Note: The Ethernet cables are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the
same number of cables connected.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
1. Identify the correct pair of Ethernet cables for the Ethernet ports labeled 3 in
the left canister and the right canister.
2. Connect the appropriate cable to each port.
3. For each additional pair of Ethernet ports in the right and left canisters,
identify the correct pair of cables and connect them.
Results
Figure 128 shows the Ethernet ports on a node canister, as seen from the back of a
Storwize V5010 system.
Connecting Ethernet cables to 25 Gbps iSCSI 2-port host interface
adapters
If you installed an optional 25 Gbps iSCSI 2-port host interface adapter, you can
use Ethernet cables to connect the system to your network.
About this task
Each Storwize V5000 Gen2 system has two onboard Ethernet ports, port 1 and port
2. When an optional 2-port 25 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter (RoCE or
iWARP) is installed, the Ethernet port number starts at 3.
Note: The Ethernet cables are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the
same number of cables connected.
