Abstract
A network infrastructure provisioning system includes a server including a plurality of server ports. At least one switch is coupled to the server and includes a plurality of switch ports. A controller is coupled to the server and the at least one switch. The controller is operable to assign channels to server traffic, enumerate at least some of the plurality of server ports, determine switch ports associated with the enumerated server ports, and assign channels to the switch ports that are associated with the enumerated server ports. The assigning of channels to the switch ports may include assigning a primary storage channel to a first enumerated server port, assigning a primary networking channel to a last enumerated server port, assigning a secondary storage channel to an intermediate enumerated server port, and assigning a secondary networking channel to an intermediate enumerated server port.
