HP ProLiant BL620c - G7 Server Application Note

Figure 11 shows an FCoE end-to-end direct-connect storage configuration using an MPX200
Multifunction Router and EVA storage systems. This provides 10-GbE FCoE and optionally, iSCSI
connectivity for up to two EVA storage systems without requiring any Fibre Channel switches.

.
The configuration shown in Figure 12 provides additional connectivity, allowing for up to four EVA
storage systems using a fabric connection between the MPX200 and EVAs. In addition to FCoE and
iSCSI, Fibre Channel connected servers can access the same EVA storage systems through the Fibre
Channel fabric. This configuration provides the highest level of multi-protocol support with FCoE,
iSCSI, and Fibre Channel connectivity for up to four EVA storage systems.
