Connecting Data Hosts to the 2510
Array
This chapter describes cabling data hosts to the Sun StorageTek 2510 Array using
iSCSI. It contains the following sections:
■ “Connecting Data Hosts to the 2510 Array” on page 59
■ “Next Steps” on page 62
Connecting Data Hosts to the 2510 Array
The Sun StorageTek 2510 Array is an Internet Small Computer System Interface
(iSCSI) system that communicates with hosts over an Ethernet data path.
The hosts that initiate data need a NIC as noted in “iSCSI Concepts” on page 98.
For initial iSCSI configuration information, go to Appendix C.
Note – For maximum hardware redundancy, each host must have a minimum of
two Ethernet NICs for dual paths. Dual-port NICs give you two paths into the
storage array, but do not ensure redundancy if the NIC fails. Single controller and
single path configurations are supported, but are not recommended.
As shown in
FIGURE 4-1, each 2510 controller has two Ethernet host ports for data
path transmission with the hosts.
