Connecting to Host Servers with iSCSI HBAs or
Network Adapters
A storage system with iSCSI front-end ports connects to one or more Ethernet switches, which connect to one or more host servers with
iSCSI HBAs or network adapters.
Cable the Storage System with 2–Port iSCSI IO Cards
Connect the iSCSI ports on the storage controllers to host servers with iSCSI HBAs. The iSCSI ports of the storage controllers connect to
the host servers through the Ethernet switches in the SAN.
