ConnECt to FibrE ChannEL nEtwork

To create a SAN with more SAN clients or expansion VTraks you will need to use one or more Fibre Channel

switches.

1. Connect Fibre Channel cables between at least one Fibre Channel data port on each VTrak controller and

the Fibre Channel switch(es).

2. Connect Fibre Channel cables between the Fibre Channel switch(es) and the Fibre Channel HBA or

controller of all clients that will be attached to the SAN

As noted earlier, SAN clients can be connected directly to the VTrak A-Class controllers without using a Fibre

Channel switch.

To do so, connect at least one Fibre Channel cable from each client to one of the VTrak A-Class controller Fibre

Channel data ports. If the client can support two cables it would be a good idea to connect the second one to

a Fibre Channel data port on the other A-Class controller as this provides improved bandwidth and data path

redundancy.
