Chapter 11. SAN connections and
configuration
This chapter describes the types of connectivity of IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node to
the compute nodes in the IBM Flex System Enterprise Chassis for storage provisioning.
It includes the three types of storage area network: Fibre Channel (FC), iSCSI, and FC over
Ethernet (FCoE). To do this, we look at the configuration of two of the I/O module models, the
IBM Flex System Fabric CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switch and the IBM Flex System
FC3171 8Gb SAN Switch. Also, we look at how IBM Flex System V7000 Storage Node can
connect to external storage controllers and SANs in order to manage them.
