4–InstallationEquipment Installation and Configuration51031-00 A 4-5CablingTo connect the Fibre Channel and Ethernet cables:1. Connect the Fibre Channel cables from the servers to the Cisco FCoENexus switch.2. Connect the Fibre Channel cables from the storage to the Cisco FCoENexus switch.3. Connect any necessary Ethernet cables for device management and iSCSIstorage.Fibre Channel SwitchesIf you are connecting Fibre Channel devices, such as storage, through a FibreChannel switch, then you must connect the Fibre Channel switch to a FibreChannel port on the FCoE switch.In addition, set up a zoning configuration so that the servers can discover the diskLUNs you are mapping. Refer to the Fibre Channel switch documentation forzoning instructions.FCoE SwitchesQLogic and Cisco have jointly developed the QLogic and Cisco FCoE DesignGuide for implementing a unified data center using Cisco Nexus 5000 Seriesswitches and QLogic second-generation Converged Network Adapters. Refer tothe design guide for detailed instructions on how to implement an FCoE networkand configure the Cisco Nexus switch and QLogic adapters (Cisco and QLogic,2010). The design guide also describes how to configure N_Port ID Virtualization(NPIV) to resolve fabric expansion concerns related to domain IDs. The QLogicand Cisco FCoE Design Guide does not describe the configuration of the PFCand ETS DCB parameters, which will be required for the tests described in thisdocument.For information about configuring DCB on a Cisco Nexus 5000 Series switch, see“Configuring DCB on a Nexus Switch” on page 4-6; some variables may need tobe adjusted for your configuration. |
