Chapter 4: Subsystem Connection and Operation

1.The RAIDWatch management software accesses a subsystem through its IP address. A management station running RAIDWatch can access the array through the 10/100BaseT management port.

2.Configuration of each port connection into a subnet isolates each iSCSI host link, decreases overheads, and eliminates the impact of link failure.

3.Different storage volumes are made available on host ports. Different volumes can be separately optimized for different I/O characteristics.
