Attach Ethernet cables to your system.
This task applies if you are
installing a control enclosure only or a control enclosure plus one
or more expansion enclosures.
This task assumes that
your initial planning has determined where the Ethernet cables are
to be located.
Attention: The default
service IP addresses on your new
Lenovo Storage V7000 control
enclosures might conflict with existing devices that are attached
to the network or with other new
Lenovo Storage V7000 control
enclosures that you are installing. The service IP address 192.168.70.121
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is preconfigured on Ethernet port 1 of the
upper canister,
canister 1. The service IP address 192.168.70.122 subnet mask 255.255.255.0
is preconfigured on Ethernet port 1 of the lower canister, canister
2.
If you encounter this situation, change the service IP addresses
on the new nodes before connecting the Ethernet cables.
When you install multiple control enclosures,
you increase the chance of conflicts in IP addresses.
To attach the Ethernet cables, do the following
steps:
- For each node canister in the control enclosure, connect an Ethernet
cable between Ethernet port 1 of the canister and an enabled port
on your Ethernet switch or router. Port 1 can be used for management,
service, and iSCSI.
Note: Ethernet cables are not supplied as part
of your order. A CAT 5 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) is the minimum
requirement for an Ethernet cable.
Ensure that cables are installed in
an orderly way to reduce the risk of cable damage when replaceable
units are removed or inserted.
- Optionally attach Ethernet cables between Ethernet port 2 on each
node canister and your Ethernet network. Port 2 can be used for management
and iSCSI
