Continue for up to 10 servers . . .

Management port IP addresses should match the corporate network scheme.

Advantages

Low-cost storage for up to ten servers.

Adding NICs or iSCSI HBAs to the configuration increases throughput.

Connection to multiple servers maximizes use of the storage system s capabilities.

A dedicated iSCSI LAN avoids network contention with your corporate LAN, and reduces security risks.

Disadvantages

No storage processor failover capability.

SSR212PPi Connected to a Dedicated iSCSI Network (Multiple- Initiator Servers)

Figure 11 shows an SSR212PPi with up to ten servers. Each server has two iSCSI initiators, and is connected with Ethernet switches (dedicated for iSCSI traffic) to the storage system s iSCSI data ports.
