• Gigabit Ethernet Ports Systems use Gigabit Ethernet ports to enable the Remote Copy over IP (RCIP) solution, and to connect the primary and secondary systems in the Remote Copy pair. For information about Remote Copy, see the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software User's Guide. • Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Ports Systems use SAS ports to connect controller nodes to drive enclosures. SAS ports are supported only on HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage systems. For information about controller nodes and drive enclosures, see "HP 3PAR Storage System Hardware" (page 61). • Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Ports Systems use FCoE ports in order to run Fibre Channel as a connectivity protocol directly over Ethernet, in parallel with regular IP traffic (as opposed to using Ethernet exclusively for TCP/IP networks and Fibre Channel exclusively for storage area networks (SANs). Converged Network Adapters (CNA) support multiple storage connectivity protocols on a single HBA; CNA ports can be configured to be used as an FCoE or iSCSI port. For information about configuring FCoE ports, see the HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Administrator's Manual. Port Location Formats The HP 3PAR CLI and the HP 3PAR Management Console display the controller node Fibre Channel, iSCSI, and Gigabit Ethernet port locations in the following format: ::. For example: 2:4:1. • Node: Valid node numbers are 0-7 depending on the number of nodes installed in your system. When viewing a system from the rear of a cabinet: ◦ F-Class nodes are numbered 0-3 from top to bottom. ◦ T-Class nodes are numbered 0-7 from left to right, top to bottom. ◦ StoreServ 10000 nodes are numbered 0-7 from left to right, bottom to top. ◦ StoreServ 7000 nodes are numbered 0-1 or 0-3 from bottom to top. • Slot: Valid node slot numbers are 0-9 depending on the class of nodes installed in your system. ◦ F-Class slots are numbered 0-6 from left to right. Slot 6 is reserved for the RCIP Ethernet port. ◦ T-Class slots are numbered 0-6 from left to right. Slot 6 is reserved for the RCIP Ethernet port. ◦ StoreServ 10000 slots are numbered 0-9 from left to right, bottom to top in a node in the lower chassis. In the upper chassis slots are numbered 0-9 from left to right, top to bottom. ◦ HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage systems have one slot per node. Slot 0 is reserved for onboard SAS, slot 1 is reserved for onboard FC, and slot 2 is reserved for the HBA. • Port: Valid node port numbers are 1-4 for all Host Bus Adapters (HBA). ◦ F-Class ports are numbered from top to bottom. ◦ T-Class ports are numbered from top to bottom. ◦ StoreServ 10000 ports are numbered from bottom to top in a node in the lower chassis. In the upper chassis ports are numbered from top to bottom. ◦ StoreServ 7000 ports are numbered 1-4 from left to right in a node in the lower node enclosure. In the upper node enclosure, slots are numbered 1-4 from right to left. 28 Ports and Hosts

Gigabit Ethernet Ports
Systems use Gigabit Ethernet ports to enable the Remote Copy over IP (RCIP) solution, and to
connect the primary and secondary systems in the Remote Copy pair. For information about
Remote Copy, see the
HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software User’s Guide
.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) Ports
Systems use SAS ports to connect controller nodes to drive enclosures. SAS ports are supported
only on HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000 Storage systems. For information about controller nodes
and drive enclosures, see
“HP 3PAR Storage System Hardware” (page 61)

Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Ports
Systems use FCoE ports in order to run Fibre Channel as a connectivity protocol directly over
Ethernet, in parallel with regular IP traffic (as opposed to using Ethernet exclusively for TCP/IP
networks and Fibre Channel exclusively for storage area networks (SANs). Converged Network
Adapters (CNA) support multiple storage connectivity protocols on a single HBA; CNA ports
can be configured to be used as an FCoE or iSCSI port. For information about configuring
FCoE ports, see the
HP 3PAR Command Line Interface Administrator's Manual

Port Location Formats
The HP 3PAR CLI and the HP 3PAR Management Console display the controller node Fibre Channel,
iSCSI, and Gigabit Ethernet port locations in the following format: <Node>:<Slot>:<Port>. For
example:
