For a direct connection between the storage system and the server, connect the
Ethernet cables to the iSCSI initiator ports (NICs or iSCSI HBAs) as shown
below.
•
For a network configuration between the storage system and the server,
connect the Ethernet cables to ports on a network device, such as a switch or
