Ensure that cables are installed in a tidy manner to reduce the risk of cable
damage.
2.
Optionally attach Ethernet cables between Ethernet port 2 on each node
canister and your Ethernet network.
File module to file module:
v Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet port 1 on the first file module to the
first Ethernet port on the second file module. Refer to Figure 9 on page 9 for
port locations.
Note:
Ethernet cables for the internal network are provided by IBM with the file
modules.
v
Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet port 2 on first file module to Ethernet
port 2 on the second file module.
v
Route the Ethernet cables through the cable management arms, and secure any
excess using the cable retention features of the rack.
File module management ports:
v Connect an Ethernet cable from Ethernet port 3 on the first file module to an
Ethernet network. If using two Ethernet cables (as recommended), connect
another Ethernet network cable to Ethernet port 4.
v
Repeat the previous step for the second file module.
v
Route the Ethernet cables through the cable management arm, and secure any
excess using the cable retention features of the rack.
File modules to external (host ports) network (10 GB Fibre Ethernet):
You have two 10 Gbps Fibre Ethernet ports available for host connections from
each file module. The ports are on the PCI card located in slot 4. Connect your
network cables to the Ethernet ports in these slots as applicable. Refer to Figure 9
on page 9.
Step 11. Attaching the Fibre Channel cables
File modules:
To attach the Fibre Channel cables, perform the following steps:
v
Connect two Fibre Channel cables from the first file module to the control
enclosure (refer to Table 4 on page 33). How to connect Fibre Channel cables
from file modules to the controller. Be sure to plug one cable into one node
canister on the control enclosure and the other cable into the other node canister
for redundancy. Route the Fibre Channel cables through the Cable Management
Arms.
Note: Fibre Channel cables are provided by IBM with the file modules.
v Repeat the previous step for the other file module.
v
Before continuing, make sure that you have connected the Fibre Channel cabling
as shown in Figure 36 on page 33 to ensure proper redundancy. Incorrect cabling
may result in a loss of service during system maintenance procedures.
v
Secure any excess cable length using the cable retention features of the rack.
