Mid to large -sized “MAC Homogenous” StorNext configuration
Example 2. In this example diagram Linux MDC Servers are shown, but only MAC Xsan Clients are shown. DS5300
connected to meshed SAN fabric with a minimum of two Fibre Channel switches. For DS5100/DS5300 configurations, a
minimum of two switches is recommended. Drawing shows minimal SAN to DS5300 connections to simplify the drawing.
However, up to 16 connections is supported. In this example, the Meta data Controllers each have a two dual ported HBA.
Multiple multi-ported HBA‟s is not required, but it is recommended. Also in this example multiple HIC cards on the DS5300 are
used to increase resiliency.
