Configuring the DL4300 using fibre channel storage (optional)

The DL4300 high-capacity edition offers a fibre channel HBA storage option allowing for creation of repositories using fibre channel

storage arrays.

NOTE: For prerequisites, assumptions, and detailed information on the following steps, see the

2. Install either the Qlogic or the Emulex HBAs management software for any adapter that was ordered with the system.

3. Install the storage array multi-path software.

4. Perform the fibre channel zoning.

5. Create a fibre channel LUN to be assigned and used as a DL4300 repository.

6. Mount the fibre channel storage LUN.

7. Configure the DL4300 fibre channel storage as a backup repository.
