Product Overview
16 NAS e7000 v2 Quick Start Guide
Configuration Options
The NAS e7000 v2 can be deployed in two different configurations attached to a
storage area network (SAN): as a single NAS device or as a clustered pair. By
default, the NAS e7000 v2 does not ship with a standard HBA to allow for
maximum flexibility in the SAN environment. For a list of supported HBAs for
the NAS e7000 v2, see the quick specs for the product.
NAS e7000 v2 as a Single Device Attached to a SAN
In the single NAS device configuration, a NAS e7000 v2 is attached to a SAN via
a single or pair of fiber channel host bus adapters (HBAs) and one or more SAN
switches. In
Figure 1 , the dual HBA approach is illustrated. Each HBA should be
connected to a separate switch that has access to the same controller pairs. This
connection method allows redundant paths to the same storage subsystem.
SAN storage is not managed by the NAS e7000 v2 and requires coordination
between the NAS administrator and the SAN administrator. LUN requests need to
be made and assigned to the NAS e7000 v2 using selective storage presentation
from the SAN controller pairs. Naming of the LUNs and the connections to the
NAS e7000 v2 is important for tracking and identification purposes. At least one
LUN is required for use by the NAS e7000 v2 in order for the device to be
functional.
