To utilize the snapshot or data replication function more efficiently, separate the application
servers, which process tasks from the backup servers. Accordingly, the tape backup
operation gives no additional load to application servers.
Though the application or backup server may also be used as a management server, using a
specific management server is recommended. Use of LAN connection is strongly
recommended for connection with the disk array.
Connect the path of individual servers, to be connected to the disk array, to the port of
different directors of the disk array, limiting the servers to be accessed by AccessControl.
