Network Configuration Examples

Network Configuration Examples

The following illustrations are examples of FC/SCSI Tape Pipelining (Device Extension) network configurations. Depending upon what your network configuration consists of, each configuration has different requirements for Fibre Channel switch zoning, static Edge LUN mapping, and source WWN filtering. Each illustration below shows the associated parameters for Fibre Channel switch zoning, static Edge LUN mapping, and source WWN filtering for its specific example.

It may be helpful to read through the “Dynamic Target LUN Discovery and LUN Mapping” section in Chapter 10 for an understanding of the Edge’s functionality before attempting to configure your network.

Example of	Figure 8-1 provides an example of a simple uni-directional

In the configuration above (Figure 8-1), Edge node 10 automatically maps all of the devices attached to Edge node 20, into its LUN map. Server A is now able to access those devices through Edge node 10’s LUN map.
