Review appliance network connections (SG6000)
Before installing the StorageGRID appliance, you should understand which networks can
be connected to the appliance.
When you deploy a StorageGRID appliance as a Storage Node in a StorageGRID system, you can connect it
to the following networks:
•
Grid Network for StorageGRID
: The Grid Network is used for all internal StorageGRID traffic. It provides
connectivity between all nodes in the grid, across all sites and subnets. The Grid Network is required.
•
Admin Network for StorageGRID
: The Admin Network is a closed network used for system administration
and maintenance. The Admin Network is typically a private network and does not need to be routable
between sites. The Admin Network is optional.
•
Client Network for StorageGRID:
The Client Network is an open network used to provide access to client
applications, including S3 and Swift. The Client Network provides client protocol access to the grid, so the
Grid Network can be isolated and secured. The Client Network is optional.
•
Management network for SANtricity System Manager
(optional): This network provides access to
SANtricity System Manager on the storage controller, allowing you to monitor and manage the hardware
components in the storage controller shelf. This management network can be the same as the Admin
Network for StorageGRID, or it can be an independent management network.
If the optional SANtricity System Manager network is not connected, you might be unable to use some
SANtricity features.
•
BMC management network for the SG6000-CN controller
(optional): This network provides access to
the baseboard management controller in the SG6000-CN, allowing you to monitor and manage the
hardware components in the SG6000-CN controller. This management network can be the same as the
Admin Network for StorageGRID, or it can be an independent management network.
If the optional BMC management network is not connected, some support and maintenance procedures
will be more difficult to perform. You can leave the BMC management network unconnected except when
needed for support purposes.

Port bond modes for SG6000-CN controller
When configuring network links for the SG6000-CN, you can use port bonding for the
10/25-GbE ports that connect to the Grid Network and optional Client Network, and the 1-
GbE management ports that connect to the optional Admin Network. Port bonding helps
protect your data by providing redundant paths between StorageGRID networks and the
appliance.
