Intel Storage System SSR212PP User Guide 37
PRELIMINARY
Disadvantages
Reduced access for remote management: To perform management tasks, you must be
connected to a host on the private network.
Limited failover capability since the single initiator and single switch provide only
one path from a server to the iSCSI Ethernet switch.
SSR212PP2i Connected to a Dedicated iSCSI Network (Multiple-
Initiator Servers)
Figure 17 shows an SSR212PP2i with up to ten servers. Each server has two iSCSI
initiators connected with two Ethernet switches (dedicated for storage system traffic) to
SSR212PP2i iSCSI data ports. The performance and availability advantages of this
configuration make it optimal for many environments.
This configuration requires a NIC connection; iSCSI HBAs qualified on
SSR212PP-Series systems do not support management input/output.
