358 Implementing the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2 with IBM Spectrum Virtualize V8.1

You can use any available Ethernet port to establish iSCSI connectivity between the Storwize

V5000 Gen2 system and the backend storage controller.

To avoid performance bottlenecks, the iSCSI initiator and target systems must use Ethernet

ports at the same speed. Do not use a combination of Ethernet links that run at different

speeds.

For full redundancy and increased throughput, use two or more Ethernet switches. Similarly

numbered Ethernet ports on each node of each system must be connected to the same

switch. They must also be configured on the same subnet or VLAN.

Figure 7-10 shows iSCSI connections between a Storwize V5030 system (iSCSI initiator) and

a Storwize V3700 system (iSCSI target).

Note: If you are using onboard Ethernet ports on a Storwize V5010 or Storwize V5020

system, ensure that the onboard Ethernet port 2 on the system is not configured to be

used as the technician port.
