Configuration details

Storage area network (SAN) configurations that contain nodes must be configured correctly.

A SAN configuration that contains your system nodes must follow configuration rules for the following components:
  • Storage systems
  • Nodes
  • Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs)
    Note: If the system has an FC adapter that is fitted, some host systems can be directly attached without using a SAN switch. Check the support pages on the product website for the current details of supported host OS, driver, and HBA types.
  • Converged network adapters (CNAs)
  • Fibre Channel switches
  • iSCSI Ethernet ports
  • Fabrics
  • Zoning
