The following example uses port 1 on I/O Module 0. However, you can choose to use any available port on either I/O module if your nodes have been configured with I/O modules. NOTE: Ports 0 and 1 of the 4-port card are reserved for the cluster network with all PowerStore T model appliances. If deploying PowerStore a 500T model appliance ports 2 and 3 of the 4-port card are reserved for connectivity to the 24 Drive 2.5 Inch NVMe (ENS24) expansion enclosures. As demonstrated in the diagram, when cabling the nodes to the ToR switches the bottom node (A), and the top node (B) must be cabled to opposite switches. 2 1 Figure 27. Cable the additional port 1. Connect Port 1 in I/O Module 0 of the bottom Node A to Port 6 of the bottom Switch (1). 2. Connect Port 1 in I/O Module 0 of the top Node B, to Port 49 of the top Switch (2). Configure a Storage network on the ToR switches The following steps provide an example of configuring an additional NVMe/TCP storage network on two Dell PowerSwitch Series S4148 Top-of-Rack (ToR) switches. You can cable the PowerStore T model appliance nodes to the switches before or after you perform these steps. For steps, see Cable the nodes to the ToR switches.
