9 | Flex Appliance (host1): A 1-10 GbE port copper connector that you can connect to an administrative network to manage the Appliance system. It is bonded with host0 during initial configuration as bond mgmt0. |
10 | Flex Appliance (host0): A 1-10 GbE port copper connector that you can connect to an administrative network to manage the Appliance system. It is bonded with host1 during initial configuration as bond mgmt0. |
11 | Flex Appliance (privnic1): A 1-10 GbE Private Low Latency Transport port that is used for connections between the two appliance compute nodes. |
12 | Flex Appliance (privnic0): A 1-10 GbE Private Low Latency Transport port that is used for connections between the two appliance compute nodes. |
Note: You should not bond copper 1-10 Gb Ethernet ports that are installed in the appliance chassis with PCIe-based 10/25 Gb Ethernet Fibre Channel ports. |
Veritas appliances may include grounding studs in case your lab environment has such a requirement. The studs are located on the rear panel of the appliance. You can use standard grounding practices to connect grounding wires to the studs.
The serial number is located on the rear panel of the appliance.
The ports on the rear panel are color-coded for easy identification.
