Planning your network and storage network
Plan to provide the network infrastructure and the storage network infrastructure
that your system requires.
Before you begin
The installation information describes connecting the file module to the control
enclosure, and connecting to both the internal Ethernet network and the external
Ethernet network.
Event notifications and call homes from the Storwize V7000 Unified storage
enclosures are done by email. This requires the IP address of an email server that
can access the Internet.
Call homes from a file module are done by electronic customer care (ECC) using
secure shell (SSH), and require either:
v
A proxy server to access the internet
v
Firewall access that must allow each file module service IP address to SSH to the
IP addresses for the ECC transaction gateways given in Information required
before starting initial configuration of your system.
Suitability for telecommunication environment:
This product is not intended to
connect directly or indirectly by any means whatsoever to interfaces of public
telecommunications networks.
Support for long links between the local and remote fabric
Ensure that you are familiar with the support for the interswitch link (ISL)
between the local and remote fabric.
See the following Web site for the supported ISLs:

Planning to access Storwize V7000 Unified MIB files for SNMP tools
Many IT organizations use Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) tools,
such as those provided by IBM Systems Director or the Net-SNMP open source
project, to monitor and extend data that identifies products and potential problems
that those hardware and software products recognize. One component of the
SNMP tools is the ability to read Management Information Bases (MIBs).
An MIB text file is information that the software and hardware products provide to
SNMP. Storwize V7000 Unified provides three MIB files. Two files are for
information gathered from the file system. The third file is for information
gathered from the block storage system.
The file system information files are originally for the Scale Out Network Attached
Storage (SONAS) product, but the MIB files also support the Storwize V7000
Unified file system equally as well.
See the Management Information Base (MIB) file for SNMP web page for
information about downloading the MIB file for the Storwize V7000 Unified block
storage system.
