10 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter ports and indicators
You can install an optional 10 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter to a Storwize® V3700 node canister.
The optional 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 2-port host interface adapter (feature
code ACHM) can be installed in a node canister. The host interface adapter is
used for Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) connections
to host systems. It can also be used for Fibre Channel over Ethernet
(FCoE) connections to host system or storage systems. The ports cannot
be used for system management.
10 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter ports
The adapter has two 10 Gbps Ethernet ports. Two 10 Gbps Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP) transceivers are installed on the adapter. The transceivers support Fibre Channel cable connections to an Ethernet network. The ports 1 are named Ethernet ports 3 and 4, from left to right.
