Connecting Fibre Channel cables to a 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host
interface adapter
If 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host interface adapters are installed on your system,
you can use Fibre Channel cables to connect them to your 10 Gbps Ethernet or
FCoE SAN.
About this task
The Fibre Channel cables are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the
same number of cables connected.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
If optional 4-port 10 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapters are installed in the node
canisters, connect each port to the network that will provide connectivity to that
port. To provide redundant connectivity, connect both node canisters in a control
enclosure to the same networks.
Results
Figure 131 shows an example configuration with a pair of Ethernet cables
connected to port 3 in each canister.
Connecting Fibre Channel cables to a Fibre Channel adapter in the
enclosure
If your system has one or more 4-port 16 Gbps Fibre Channel adapters installed,
use Fibre Channel cables to connect the two node canisters in the enclosure to the
switches in the Fibre Channel SAN.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
1. Connect the required number of Fibre Channel cables to the node canisters in
the control enclosure.
Note: Both canisters must have the same number of cables connected.
