If you installed an optional 25 Gbps iSCSI 2-port host interface adapter, you can use Ethernet cables to connect the system to your network.
Each Lenovo Storage V series system has two onboard Ethernet ports, port 1 and port 2. When
an optional 2-port 25 Gbps Ethernet host interface adapter (RoCE or
iWARP) is installed, the Ethernet port number starts at 3.
Note: The
Ethernet cables are connected in pairs. Both canisters must have the
same number of cables connected.
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
- Identify the correct pair of Ethernet cables for the Ethernet ports labeled 3 in the left canister and the right canister.
- Connect the appropriate cable to each port.
- For each additional pair of Ethernet ports in the right and left canisters, identify the correct pair of cables and connect them.
Figure 1 shows the Ethernet ports on a node canister, as seen from the back
of a Lenovo
Storage V3700 V2 XP system. This example shows a 25 Gbps Ethernet (RoCE) adapter.

the Ethernet ports, as seen on the back of a Lenovo Storage V5030 system. This example also shows a 2-port 25 Gbps Ethernet (RoCE)
adapter.
