Appendix L iSCSI Connection Configuration-Examples

This appendix provides examples of iSCSI connection configuration.

L.1 Connection Between Application Server and LAN

iSCSI network supports only independent configuration of public LANs (intranet).

Shared-storage configurations are not supported (but are enabled when using a VLAN) so that

eliminating disturbances and establishing a stable network connection prevent job I/O operations from

being interfered with.
