When connecting the 10-GbE network ports on the E5600SG controller, note that version 1.7 and
later of the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance Installer supports two configurations for these ports,
as follows:
•
In the Fixed Port Configuration, ports 2 and 4 are bonded together for the Grid network, and
ports 1 and 3 are bonded together for the Client network, if used. The ports can be bonded using
active-backup mode or Link Aggregation Control Protocol mode (LACP IEEE 802.3ad).
•
In the optional Aggregated Port Configuration, all four ports are grouped together in a single
LACP bond, and all ports are used for both Grid network and Client network traffic. If you plan to
use Aggregated Port Configuration:
◦
You must be using version 1.7 or later of the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance Installer.
Note:
You cannot determine which version of the StorageGRID Webscale Appliance
Installer is included with the appliance until you configure the E5600SG controller
management port. If you discover that you need to upgrade the StorageGRID
WebscaleAppliance Installer to version 1.7, you must contact technical support.
◦
The ports must be connected to switches that can support VLAN, LACP, or multi-chassis link
aggregation groups (MLAG), or equivalent, if multiple switches are participating in the LACP
bond.
◦
You must understand how to configure the switches to use VLAN, LACP, or MLAG, or
equivalent, if multiple switches are participating in the LACP bond.
For more information, see the appropriate
StorageGRID Webscale Installation Guide.
Steps
1. Connect the E2700 controller to the E5600SG controller, using the two SAS interconnect cables.
Connect this port...
To this port...
SAS interconnect port 1 (labeled Ch 1) on the
E2700 controller
SAS interconnect port 1 (labeled Ch 1) on the
E5600SG controller
SAS interconnect port 2 (labeled Ch 2) on the
E2700 controller
SAS interconnect port 2 (labeled Ch 2) on the
E5600SG controller
Use the square connector (mini-SAS HD) for the E2700 controller, and use the rectangular
connector (mini-SAS) for the E5600SG controller.
Attention:
Make sure the pull tabs on the SAS connectors are at the bottom, and carefully
insert each connector until it clicks into place. Do not push on the connector if there is any
resistance. Verify the position of the pull tab before continuing.
2. Connect the E2700 controller to the management network where SANtricity Storage Manager
software is installed, using an Ethernet cable.
