ISE User Guide Installation
Storage Area Network (SAN)
In a SAN environment, the ISE connects to a host through the fabric (see the online compatibility matrix at
http://support.XIOstorage.com
) and its Fibre Channel ports. In this network-attached environment, the ISE Stor-
age Blade management interfaces are network accessible through the Ethernet ports.
In the example below (Figure 18), the ISE connects to the blade servers through built-in Fibre Channel
switches.

Note. While figures 18 and 19 show ISE-1 units, the arrangement and cabling techniques remain applica-
ble to the ISE-2, Hyper ISE, and ISE 7-Series.
