Ports Description
10G SFP+
Each server has four 10G SFP+ ports.
Use the left two 10G SFP+ ports (port identiers eth4/eth5 left to right) to connect to
the Public network. The Public network is used by clients systems to utilize storage
managed by the VSky A1100.
Use the right two 10G SFP+ ports (port identiers eth6/eth7 left to right) to connect
to the Cluster network. The Cluster network is used by connected VSky servers for
syncing and management of storage resources.
The behavior of the LED indicators on each side of the row of ports is as follows: Left
side LEDs light on for Link, blink for Activity on the port. The Right side LEDs light
green for a 10Gbps connection and yellow for a 1Gbps connection. The Link/Act and
Speed LEDs are numbered from in sequence from eth4 to eth7 with eth4 at the top
and eth7 on the bottom.
Fibre Channel Use both Fibre Channel ports to connect to the Vess R2600S. This establishes the
data link to the RAID storage on the Vess R2600 and Vess J2600 enclosures.
1G Ethernet Connect one port (eth0) to the network used for management of the VSky server and
the Vess R2600.
USB
Use the USB ports to connect keyboard and mouse for conguration of the node to
which they are attached. These are also used for transferring les and software to the
system disks.
VGA Connect a VGA monitor for initial conguration of the node to which it is attached.
There is one VGA port per motherboard.
