To connect the Ethernet ports to networks
1. Connect the ports for the embedded Ethernet controllers to networks. Obtain the
appropriate cables and connectors (see
) for each of the system Ethernet
ports you plan to use. Connect one end of each cable to a network port on the
system and the other end to an Ethernet wall jack or switch. Items 8 and 9 in
show the 1GbE and 10GbE network ports, respectively, on the
systems.
2. If the system contains Ethernet adapters in PCI slots, connect them to a network.
Connect the LAN adapter team to the same network subnet as the iSCSI storage
array using two network switches for fault tolerance.
For ports on copper gigabit Ethernet adapters, use UTP cables with RJ-45
connectors.
N O T E S
1. If you are installing the adapters, install them in pairs,
one in the same slot in each CPU-I/O enclosure.
2. Add cables in pairs, a cable connected to the same
port in the same slot in each CPU-I/O enclosure. If
you are using a single pair of ports, attach cables to
the top port(s) of each card and attach both cables to
the same network.
After you connect the cables and install the software, and when the system is running,
configure the iSCSI software initiator and configure the Ethernet ports into
teams
(on
Windows-based systems),
channel-bond interfaces
(on Linux-based systems), or
vSwitches
(on VMware vSphere-based systems).
For information about configuring the iSCSI software initiator, see the
ftScalable
Storage G3: Getting Started Guide
(R687) or the links in the
section in the Preface.
