Figure 3.1 Connection configuration
3.1 Host Connections (SAN)
Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated network to connect ETERNUS DX Disk storage systems to servers
(hosts).
FC, iSCSI, FCoE, and SAS are available as host interfaces. Depending on the connection configuration, the
destination can be a server HBA or a switch.
Using driver software for multipath control enables reliable and high performance connection configurations
by controlling the server and the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system with multiple paths.
This section describes each host interface.
