IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide
Figure 11-1 Logical layout of Storage Node to I/O module switch interconnects
I/O Module connection summary
The storage node canister can communicate with all 4 of the I/O switch modules in the IBM
Flex System Enterprise Chassis via both of the canister Network Adapters. NW 1 on each
canister will be used for Ethernet communications via I/O module switches 1+2 where traffic
can be iSCSI on a TCP/IP network, or FCoE thus providing a network convergence capability.
NW 2 can be used for either an extra Ethernet attachment to I/O module switches 3+4 or can
be used for FC connection to compute nodes and external FC fabrics for external storage
attachment.

Figure 11-2 on page 435 shows the SAN area which will be examined in this section, it will
detail connections within the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis predominantly but will also
look at connectivity to external storage and configuration of the I/O switch modules.
