Connections from Storage Systems to ftServer Systems
ftServer systems support both Fibre Channel (FC) connections and Internet
SCSI (iSCSI) connections to storage systems. For more information, see the following
sections:

“Fibre Channel Connections” on page 4-3

“iSCSI Connections” on page 4-4
Fibre Channel Connections
ftServer systems support FC connections to the ftScalable Storage systems listed in
Table 4-2 through the optical FC HBAs listed in Table 4-1 .
ftServer systems support the following FC connection options:

Directly attach the FC cables between one or two ftServer systems and the RAID
controller trays of an ftScalable Storage system.

Connect multiple ftServer systems to ftScalable Storage systems through a
storage area network (SAN).
A pair of optical FC HBAs provides fault tolerance through the multipath I/O capability
of the operating system. The adapters are single-ported, and each member of the pair
is installed in a different CPU- I / O enclosure: one in the top enclosure and the other in
the bottom enclosure.
Table 4-3 lists the optical FC cables available for connecting the supported FC PCI
adapter. The cable sets come in blue and yellow, to make it easy to distinguish between
members of cable pairs.
For detailed information about making the FC connections to supported
ftScalable Storage systems, see one of the following:
