Connect iSCSI data ports
Connect the storage-system iSCSI data ports to the NICs, iSCSI
HBAs, or network
Use CAT 5, CAT 5e, or CAT 6 LAN cables to connect 1 GbE iSCSI data ports to
servers. Use OM3 50-micron fiber-optic cables to connect 10 GbE iSCSI data ports.
1. Plug cables into the front-end iSCSI data ports that you intend to use.
2. Connect the free end of the Ethernet cables to a 10/100 or 1-gigabit Ethernet port:
•
For a
direct
connection between the storage system and the server, connect the
cables to the iSCSI initiator ports (NICs or iSCSI HBAs).
•
For a
network
configuration between the storage system and the server,
connect the cables to ports on a network device, such as a switch or router,
that is connected to the NICs or iSCSI HBAs in your configuration’s servers.
3. For high availability:
•
connect each NIC/HBA to at least one data port on each storage processor, or
•
connect separate ports from a server to each storage processor.
