A quick post that may prove useful if you’re trying to
map ports on your NetApp FAS3140 controllers to physical connections.
Figure: FAS3140A
Logical View with Ports Identified (click to enlarge)
The figure above
has a FAS3140A - two controllers, each controller with:
SLOTS 1&2 populated by Quad-Port FC HBA cards
SLOTS 3 &4 populated by Quad-Port Ethernet HBA cards
The colour scheme
has:
Yellow = Serial Port
Blue = Ethernet Ports
Orange = Fibre Channel Ports
The takeaway from this post is that:
- Ethernet ports are named beginning with an e.
- FC ports start with a number.
- The number represents either the slot or is 0 for onboard.
- The onboard FC ports are - from left to right - 0a, 0b, 0c, 0d.
- The ports in slots 1to 4 are from left to right (e)Xd, (e)Xc, (e)Xb, (e)Xa (where X = the slot number).
The reason why we start on d at the left is because the HBA cards go in “upside down” when
plugged into the riser which is mid-chassis.
