IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Introduction and Implementation Guide

We start with a overview of the planning tasks required for the proper installation of IBM Flex 
System V7000 Storage Node.

Proper planning before the actual physical installation of the hardware is required. Below is a 
overview of the requirements to use to plan your installation: 

��

Each IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node enclosure within the IBM Flex System 
Enterprise Chassis uses 4 bays (double wide and double high). Make sure you have 
enough space in the chassis for the installation of IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node 
control and internal expansion enclosures.

��

IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node control and expansion enclosures are attached in 
a single redundant SAS chain. Each IBM Flex System V7000 Control Enclosure will 
support up to nine expansion enclosures total which constitutes an IBM Flex System 
V7000 Storage Node. 

��

IBM Flex System V7000 Control Enclosure supports the attachment for up to nine 
Expansion Enclosures using either IBM Flex System V7000 Expansion Enclosures (max 
2), IBM Storwize V7000 Expansion Enclosures (max 9), or a combination of both. 

��

The IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis contains 14 bays in total, so there can be at 
most three IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node enclosures (a control enclosure and up 
to two IBM Flex System V7000 Expansion Enclosures). Any additional expansion 
enclosures would have to be IBM Storwize V7000 expansion enclosures attached 
externally to the same single SAS chain.

Install the hardware as described in IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node Installation 
Guide (GC27-4203)

For information about planning the IBM IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node 
environment, see the following address: 

For the latest maximum configuration support information, see the IBM System Storage 
Flex System V7000 Storage Node website:

��

There needs to be two power outlets from redundant power sources in the rack for the two 
power cords included with each enclosure. 2 - 20 outlets are required depending on the 
number of enclosures to install. The power cords connectors are IEC320 C13/C14 
standard connections. 

��

There are four optional configurations that can exist for host connections to the IBM Flex 
System V7000 Storage Node through network adapters. See Chapter 11, “SAN 
Connections and Configuration” on page 431 for detailed examples of how to configure 
the host connections.

Note: Installing a Flex System V7000 Enclosure within an Enterprise Chassis requires 
the removal of some of the shelves within the chassis which would normally support the 
Compute Nodes.
