Introduction

Supported Switches

Switch hardware
limited to Sun 1-Gbit
8- and 16-port
switches.

SAN 3.0 switches

can be upgraded
with the SAN 4.0
firmware. If you do
not upgrade the
firmware, the 1-Gbit
switches can exist on
the same host as the
2-Gbit switches, but
they can not connect
to each other.

New 2-Gbit switches
introduced.

Tools

SANbox switch
management
application manages
the 1-Gbit switches
with old firmware
only.

N/A

New switch
management tools
are available. See the
vendor-specific
documentation for
details.

N/A

Multipathing and
load balancing
supported with the
Sun StorEdge Traffic
Manager
application.

Multipathing and
load balancing
through the Sun
StorEdge Traffic
Manager application
with SunCluster 3.0
or VERITAS Cluster
Server.
