One Windows NT system is required
for managing storage
The Windows NT system must be in a
LAN with a NetWare Server, and at least
one of the SAN attached NetWare Servers
must run Data Managed Node for
NetWare.
Each PowerVault 650F/651F requires
one of the following:
A SAN attached Windows NT
management station within its
zone
This system is attached to the SAN via
Fibre Channel.
A server running Data Managed
Node within its zone and LAN
attached Windows NT manage-
ment station
Windows NT zones: Windows NT man-
agement station must be LAN-attached
to a SAN-attached Windows NT server
running Data Managed Node for
Windows NT.
NetWare zones: Windows NT manage-
ment station must be LAN-attached to a
SAN-attached NetWare server running
Data Managed Node for NetWare.
Note: The Windows NT management sta-
tion may be used to manage storage in
both Windows NT zones and NetWare
zones concurrently.
Maximum of four storage nodes A maximum of four of the following
nodes: PowerVault 35F bridge, PowerVault
650F, and PowerVault 651F. Because Net-
Ware SANs are nonredundant, a Power-
Vault 650F and PowerVault 651F with two
storage processors count as two nodes
(for NetWare only).
Maximum of four PowerVault 120Ts
per PowerVault 35F
Allows a maximum of 16 PowerVault
120Ts per SAN.
Maximum of two PowerVault 130Ts
per PowerVault 35F
Allows a maximum of eight PowerVault
130Ts per SAN.
Maximum of four PowerVault Fibre
Channel switches per SAN
Two switches per fabric allowing four
switches for redundant configurations and
two for nonredundant configurations. At
least one PowerVault 51F per fabric is
strongly recommended for its support of a
zoning graphical user interface (GUI) (firm-
ware version 2.1.
