Reference Configurations
• Basic Configuration — This configuration contains XenServer hosts, each
with a NIC for iSCSI connectivity and a PS Series enclosure with
redundant RAID controllers. Each host's NIC is connected to an Ethernet
switch, and the Ethernet switch has connections to all six ports on the
RAID controllers. See Figure 5-19 for an illustration of this configuration.
Storage Repositories on a XenServer host or a XenServer pool can be
created on the iSCSI volumes on the EqualLogic array.
