This
task assumes that your initial planning has determined where the Ethernet
optical cables are to be located.
To attach the optical cables,
do the following steps:
- Remove any protective end covers from the cables or the SFP transceivers.
- Attach the Ethernet optical cables to ports on a 10 Gbps Ethernet
switch.
Ensure that cables are installed in
an orderly way to reduce the risk of cable damage when replaceable
units are removed or inserted.
- Attach the other ends of the Ethernet optical cables to the 10
Gbps Ethernet ports on the node canisters.
Important: For each set of canisters,
connect the Ethernet ports with the same numbers to the same subnets
so that the failover of system management and iSCSI IP addresses can
occur between canisters. For example, canister 1, port 3, must be
on the same subnet as canister 2, port 3, and canister 1, port 4,
must be on the same subnet as canister 2, port 4.
