NOTE: To use the management port as an iSCSI port, cable the management port to a network
switch dedicated to iSCSI traffic. Special considerations must be taken into account when
sharing the management port. For environments where the Storage Center system
management ports are mixed with network traffic from other devices (such as voice, backups,
or other computing devices), separate the iSCSI traffic from management traffic using VLANs.
Labeling the Ethernet Management Cables
Label the Ethernet management cables that connect each storage controller to an Ethernet switch.
Prerequisites
Locate the Ethernet management cable labels that shipped with the SC4020 storage system.
About this task
Apply cable labels to both ends of each Ethernet management cable.
Steps
1.
Starting with the top edge of the label, attach the label to the cable near the connector.
Figure 67. Attach Label to Cable
2.
Wrap the label around the cable until it fully encircles the cable. The bottom of each label is clear so
that it does not obscure the text.
