1.Single Host Client connected to DS3000/DS4000/DS5000 Storage (NOW)

a.Apple Leopard and Snow Leopard

i.Using ATTO HBA‟s and multipathing driver

b.Without StorNext or Xsan support

c.This is basic host connectivity support.

2.Multiple Apple Host Client connected to DS3000/DS4000/DS5000 Storage (NOW)
