Multi-Path Architecture
Storage Area Network (SAN)-ready Multi-Path Architecture allows homogeneous
or heterogeneous open systems applications to share the library’s robotics without
middleware or a dedicated server (host) acting as a library manager. The
Multi-Path Architecture is compliant with the following attachment interfaces:
v SCSI
v Fibre Channel
The
library is certified for SAN solutions (such as LAN-free backup).
Multi-Path Architecture allows additional control paths and data paths to be
configured for any one logical library. For more information, see “Using Multiple
Control Paths” on page 2-2 and “Using Multiple Data Paths for Data Path
Failover” on page 2-3.
