2. Optionally, connect Ethernet port 2 of each node canister in the system to a second IP network that
will provide redundant connection to the system management interfaces.
This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the system by hosts on the network. If there is
more than one control enclosure in the system, ensure that port 2 of every node canister is connected
to the same network to provide access if the conîłguration node fails.
Connecting Fibre Channel cables to the control enclosure
If your system has one or more 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.
Before you begin
Refer to the "Planning" section of the IBM Knowledge Center for instructions on determining the number
of required cables and their intended port locations.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
1. Referring to the "Planning" section of the documentation, 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.
Figure 138 on page 124
and Figure 139 on page 125 show the location and port numbers of optional
Fibre Channel adapters in adapter slot 1 of the two node canisters. (The system might also have an
optional Fibre Channel adapter installed in slot 2 of each canister.)
