Hello, dear!

Have a nice day!

In the OceanStor 6800/6800F V5 system, the four controllers are located in a controller enclosure. Nodes are interconnected using backplane PCIe channels.
In the OceanStor 5300/5500/5600/5800/5300F/5500F/5600F/5800F V5 and 5500 V5 Elite storage system, the four controllers can be connected either using the 10 GE switching network directly or using two HUAWEI CE6855 switches. Cluster heartbeats and service data are transmitted through the 10 GE switching network.
If the storage system has multiple controllers, each controller must be equipped with one 10 GE SmartIO card, which must be installed in the IOM1 (for a 2 U enclosure) or IOM3 (for a 3 U or 6 U enclosure) slot.

Hope can help you!
