Figure 129. Example of a Storwize V5020 system with a 2-port 25 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter
Figure 130 on page 123 shows the ports (labeled 3 and 4) on a 25 Gbps Ethernet (RoCE) adapter, as seen
on the back of a Storwize V5030 node canister.

Note: This port numbering also applies if the 2-port 25 Gbps Ethernet (iWARP) adapter is installed in the
node canister.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
1. Identify the correct pair of Ethernet cables for the Ethernet ports labeled 3 in the left canister and the
right canister.
2. Connect the appropriate cable to each port.
3. For each additional pair of Ethernet ports in the right and left canisters, identify the correct pair of
cables and connect them.
Note: The Ethernet cables are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the same number of
cables connected.
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
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.
