Connecting the SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 to the SAN and to the Ethernet network

Before you connect the SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 to the SAN, you must connect the Ethernet and fibre-channel cables.

Attention: The SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 node is supported only in SAN Volume Controller 4.3.1 and earlier releases.

Before you begin this task, refer to the user's cable connection table to find out where to connect the Ethernet and fibre-channel cables.

To connect the SAN Volume Controller 2145-4F2 to the SAN and to the Ethernet network, perform the following steps:
  1. Connect the Ethernet cable to Ethernet port 1 number three in Figure 1.
    Attention: You must use only Ethernet port 1 on the SAN Volume Controller. The software is configured only for Ethernet port 1.
  2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the proper connector on the Ethernet hub or switch.
