Connecting Fibre Channel cables to a Fibre Channel host interface
adapter
If your system has 16 Gbps Fibre Channel 4-port host interface adapters installed,
you can use Fibre Channel cables to connect them to your Fibre Channel SAN.
Procedure
To install the cables, complete the following steps.
1. Connect the required number of Fibre Channel cables. Refer to the “Planning”
section of the IBM Knowledge Center for instructions on determining the
number of cables required.
Note: Both canisters must have the same number of cables connected.
Figure 134 shows an example Storwize V5020 system with two Fibre Channel
cables connected to each canister.
2. If you want to connect additional Fibre Channel cables, make sure to connect
the same number of cables to each canister. Figure 135 on page 151 shows an
example Storwize V5020 configuration with four Fibre Channel cables
connected to each canister.
