MPX200 configuration options
An EVA storage system can be configured for simultaneous connectivity to iSCSI and FC attached
hosts. Support for iSCSI to an EVA storage system is provided through the MPX200 and an existing
FC switch fabric port (fabric-attached) or direct-connect to an EVA controller port.
Figure 127 shows an MPX200 single-blade fabric-attached configuration. This is the lowest-cost
configuration and is used when high availability for iSCSI hosts is not required.
