A Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN) requires:
• An FC HBA card in each host PC or server
• An SFP transceiver for each connected FC port on the subsystem
• An FC switch
• A network switch
Data Path
To establish the data path:
1. Connect FC cables between at least one FC data port on each RAID
controller and the FC switch.
See Figure 11.
2. Connect FC cables between the FC switch and the FC HBA cards in both
host PCs or servers.
If you have multiple VTrak subsystems, repeat steps 1 and 2 as required.
