MPX200 configuration options
You can configure an EVA storage system for simultaneous connectivity to iSCSI and FC attached
hosts. Support for iSCSI to an EVA is provided through the MPX200 and an FC switch fabric port
(fabric attach) or the MPX200 directly connected to the EVA.
NOTE:
Directly connecting an MPX200 FC port and an EVA requires the EVA controller port to be set to
Direct.
Figure 1
illustrates an MPX200 single-blade fabric-attached configuration. This is the lowest-cost
configuration and is used when high availability for iSCSI hosts is not required.
