You must connect the storage controllers to the SG6000-CN controller, connect the management ports on all three controllers, and connect the network ports on the SG6000-CN controller to the Grid Network and optional Client Network for StorageGRID.
The following figure shows the three controllers in the SG6060 appliance, with the SG6000-CN compute controller on the top and the two E2800 storage controllers on the bottom.
The following figure shows the three controllers in the SGF6024 appliance, with the SG6000-CN compute controller on the top and the two EF570 storage controllers side by side below the compute controller.
Port | Type of port | Function | |
---|---|---|---|
1 | BMC management port on the SG6000-CN controller |
1-GbE (RJ-45) |
Connects to the network where you access the BMC interface. |
2 | FC connection ports:
|
16-Gb/s FC optical SFP+ |
Connect each storage controller to the SG6000-CN controller. |
3 | Four network ports on the SG6000-CN controller | 10/25-GbE | Connect to the Grid Network and the Client Network for StorageGRID. |
4 | Admin Network port on the SG6000-CN controller (labelled P1 in the figure) | 1-GbE (RJ-45) Attention: This port operates only at 1000 baseT/full and does not support 10- or 100-megabit speeds.
