Connecting the BladeFrame BF200 to a SAN

This section describes generic steps for connecting your 
BladeFrame BF200 to a Storage Area Network (SAN).

To properly configure the BladeFrame BF200 for your SAN 
device, follow the guidelines in 

PRIMERGY BladeFrame SAN 

Integration Guide

, available on the online bookshelf. 

PRIMERGY 

BladeFrame SAN Integration Guide

 has information on multipath 

and failover configurations.

The BladeFrame BF200 supports the following SAN environments:

•

Arbitrated loop, where the storage devices are connected in a 
logical loop. This requires little configuration.

•

Switched fabric, where the storage devices communicate 
through one or more switches. For switched fabric 
environments, persistent binding must be enabled.

To support SAN Fibre Channel connections, the BladeFrame 
BF200 is equipped with four QLogic SANBlade 2342 Host Bus 
Adapters (HBAs), two HBAs per cBlade.  The HBAs are shipped 
with preconfigured settings for arbitrated loop. 

The cBlade can support a Fibre Channel infrastructure of 2Gb. 
However, your performance is limited to the size of your 
infrastructure (for example, the performance of a 1Gb infrastructure 
is not as good as that of a 2Gb infrastructure).
