4. Connection Configuration
This chapter explains the connection configuration of the ETERNUS DX.
SAN Connection
FC, iSCSI, FCoE are available as host interfaces. The server and the ETERNUS DX can be connected directly or via a
switch.
Host Interface
This section describes each host interface.
The supported host interfaces vary between the ETERNUS DX500 S4/DX600 S4 and the ETERNUS DX500 S3/DX600
S3. For details about host interfaces, refer to "Overview" of the currently used storage systems.
When switches are used, zoning should be set for the switches to ensure the security of data.
