You can configure SnapDrive for Windows to use a crossover FC cable to attach the host directly to the storage system.
The host and storage system in this configuration each use the following connection hardware:
- 1 HBA to transfer LUN data between storage system and host
- 1 Fast Ethernet (or GbE) NIC to connect to the data-center fabric
Note: Both the storage system and the host must be within the same broadcast domain.
