the switch. This is also the reason each of the servers must have two HBAs installed. Each HBA connects to one switch and respectively to one SP. Due to the failover capa- bilities provided by the Dell OpenManage Application Transparent Failover (ATF) software, configuring this way also eliminates all cables, switches, gigabit interface controllers (GBICs), and HBAs as a single point of failure. Therefore, any one of those hardware components can fail and connectivity is maintained with no loss of data. The switch also provides the ability to add and remove devices while the SAN is operational.

The multiport bridge converts Fibre Channel signals from the switch into SCSI signals that the 120T digital linear tape (DLT) Autoloader or 130T DLT Library can use. It also presents the 120T DLT Autoloader or 130T DLT Library as a sharable device.
The main benefit of Fibre Channel backup is that the tape library becomes a central resource that can be shared among all servers on the SAN and data throughput is sig- nificantly faster than in a network backup. Dell SAN specific tape backup software is required to permit this sharing ability and to control access to the commonly available tape drives in this environment.
