To provide system management connectivity for your Storwize® V3700 system, you must connect Ethernet
cables to Ethernet port 1 of each node canister in the control enclosure. This connection can
optionally also be used for iSCSI host connection. Ethernet port 2 can optionally be connected to
provide a second system management address, a second iSCSI host connection, or both.
Procedure
To install the Ethernet cables, complete the following
steps.
- Connect
Ethernet port 1 of each node canister in the system to the IP network
that will provide connection to the system management interfaces,
as shown in Figure 1. This port can also be used for iSCSI connectivity to the system
by hosts on the network. Where more than one control enclosure is
present in the system, ensure port 1 of every node canister is connected
to the same network to provide access if the configuration node fails.

Ethernet cables
- Optionally, connect Ethernet
port 2 of each node canister in the system to a second IP network
that will provide redundant connection to the system management interfaces,
as shown by the lighter cable connection in Figure 1. This port can also be used for
iSCSI connectivity to the system by hosts on the network. If there
is more than one control enclosure in the system, ensure that port
2 of every node canister is connected to the same network to provide
access if the configuration node fails.
