Relationship to other resources
An interconnect resource is associated with the following resources in the resource summary
diagram (page 29) :
•
Exactly one enclosure
•
Exactly one logical interconnect , and, through that logical interconnect, exactly one logical
interconnect group

2.12 Logical interconnect groups
The logical interconnect group represents the physical and logical configuration of connections to
data center networks for each logical interconnect in the group. This configuration includes the
following:
•
The interconnect types, interconnect configurations, and interconnect downlink capabilities
•
The stacking mode, which reserves the interconnect ports to be used for stacking links
•
The uplink sets, which map uplink ports to Ethernet or Fibre Channel networks
•
The available networks
In the resource model:
•
A logical interconnect group is associated with an enclosure group instead of an individual
enclosure.
•
Every enclosure that is a member of an enclosure group has the same network connectivity
as all other enclosures in the enclosure group because their logical interconnects are identically
configured.
•
You can create a logical interconnect group either automatically during an enclosure add
operation, or independently of enclosure add operations. If you add an enclosure without
specifying an existing enclosure group, the appliance creates both an enclosure group and
a logical interconnect group based on the physical interconnects in that enclosure. You can
then edit that enclosure group and that logical interconnect group.
•
The uplink sets defined by the logical interconnect group establish the initial configuration of
the uplink sets of each logical interconnect associated with the logical interconnect group. If
you change uplink sets for an existing logical interconnect group:
◦ The updated uplink sets are applied to any new logical interconnects that are added to
the existing logical interconnect group.
◦ Existing logical interconnects are reported as not being consistent with the logical
interconnect group. You can then request that those existing logical interconnects be
updated with the new configuration.
After a logical interconnect has been created and associated with a logical interconnect group, it
continues to be associated with that group and reports if its configuration differs from the group.
You can then change the configuration of the logical interconnect to match the group.
