Supported Network Configurations

The SANbox SSP supports both single-fabric and multiple-fabric configurations. This section shows three examples of supported configurations.

2.3.1

Small SAN Deployment Configuration with Zoning

In the following example of a typical small SAN deployment (Figure 2-2), a single Fibre Channel switch is used to connect all storage and initiators. Zoning is used to partition the front-side initiator ports, and back-side storage and StoreAge SVM into two separate logical SANs. See "SAN Zoning" on page 5-3for more detailed information about proper zoning configuration.
