2.4 Embedded Fibre Channel Switches

2.4.1 SAN Configuration

Shown in Figure 8 is an example of a dual path SAN configuration that we will be using as a reference in this document. Two McData directors steer traffic through separate fabrics to the IBM BladeCenters, which use Qlogic HBAs (Host Bus Adapters). Separate fabrics allow full redundancy in the storage path. The IBM Blade Server boots to drives physically located on the Hitachi subsystem over the SAN. Qlogic HBAs must be specifically configured to allow remote booting. See diagram 1 for a visual representation of this architecture.
