Connecting the Appliance to 

Hosts and Storage Arrays

Connecting the appliance to hosts and storage depends on the customer’s network 
configuration. This chapter describes how to connect the appliance in three standard 
configurations. It also provides a sample cascaded appliance configuration for cross-appliance 
mirroring.

This chapter describes the following topics:

■

Directly connecting hosts and storage to the appliance

, page 82

■

Connecting hosts and storage arrays through switches

, page 84

■

Connecting hosts and EVAs through switches

, page 86

■

Connecting two appliances through a WAN

, page 87

■

Connecting cascaded appliances

, page 88
