Supported Network Configurations
The SANbox SSP supports both single-fabric and multiple-fabric configurations.
This section shows three examples of supported configurations.
2.3.1
Small SAN Deployment Configuration with Zoning
In the following example of a typical small SAN deployment (Figure 2-2), a single
Fibre Channel switch is used to connect all storage and initiators. Zoning is used
to partition the front-side initiator ports, and back-side storage and StoreAge SVM
into two separate logical SANs. See "SAN Zoning" on page 5-3 for more detailed
information about proper zoning configuration.
