See the Network Administration Guide or the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform One File Administrator User Guide for more information on creating aggregations.
There are eight 10/25 GbE ports that use enhanced small form factor pluggable (SFP28) optical connectors, shown as follows:
Figure. 10/25 gigabit ethernet customer data network ports
Note: Ports 1-6 are 10/25GbE capable, while ports 7 & 8 are 25GbE only.
The ports may need to be configured to be compatible with the network switch that they are attached to using the command ethernet-link-config under the following circumstances:- Forward Error Correction (FEC): When using 25GbE connection mode on the server, Forward Error Correction (FEC) is enabled by default. Make sure that FEC is configured on each port of the network switch. If the network switch does not support the correct type of FEC, it may be necessary to disable FEC at both the VSP One File server port and switch port.
See the CLI man page, ethernet-link-config for more details on FEC.
- 10GbE speed. If the network switch only supports 10GbE, the speed will need to be configured accordingly in the VSP One File server using the ethernet-link-config command.
See the CLI man page, ethernet-link-config for more details.
Once connected, each 10/25GbE port has two indicator LEDs; one green/amber and one amber. These LEDs provide link and network activity status information as follows:
| Status/Activity (per port) | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Green (solid) | 25 Gbps link present. |
| Amber (solid) | 10 Gbps link present. | |
| Off | No 10/25 Gbps link. | |
| Activity | Amber (flashing) | 10/25 Gbps link activity |
