Connecting Fibre Channel cables to a 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host interface adapter

If 10 Gbps iSCSI-FCoE 4-port host interface adapters are installed on your system, you can use Fibre Channel cables to connect them to your 10 Gbps Ethernet or FCoE SAN.

The Fibre Channel cables are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the same number of cables connected.

To install the cables, complete the following steps.

If optional 4-port 10 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapters are installed in the node canisters, connect each port to the network that will provide connectivity to that port.
To provide redundant connectivity, connect both node canisters in a control enclosure to the same networks.
