Single host attached to a single storage system through an FC switch

You can configure SnapDrive for Windows to use a dedicated FC switch between the storage system and the host.

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: LUN traffic and management traffic in an FC configuration can be performed over a single GbE connection, however, for best results, you should separate the traffic as shown in the following illustration.
