Data Host Software
The data host software contains tools that manage the data path I/O connections
between the data host and the storage array. This includes drivers and utilities that
enable storage management hosts to connect to, monitor, and transfer data in a
storage area network (SAN).
Note – Some management hosts can also be used as data hosts.
For information on configuring iSCSI and data hosts, refer to “Configuring iSCSI on
the Sun StorageTek 2510 Array” on page 97.
