Local SAN Island Connectivity

Local SAN Island Connectivity
You can use either the SANsurfer Map Local Initiator/Target wizard (see
page 7-55) or the CLI localmap add command (see page A-20) to map any of
the following connections:
iSCSI Server to an FC Device (Target)
FC server to an iSCSI Device (Target)
FC Server from one SAN to FC target on another SAN
FCIP - Fibre Channel over IP
The SANbox 6142 Intelligent Router supports FCIP, Fibre Channel over IP. The
FCIP protocol as implemented in the router is not guaranteed nor has it been
tested to be compatible with other vendor FCIP implementations. The router
supports up to two FCIP routes; each route requires a dedicated FC and GE port
pair.
Merge FC fabrics over LAN/WAN
N-port to fabric over LAN/WAN
N-port to N-port over LAN/WAN
CAUTION!
When adding multiple routers in the same physical SAN, you must import a
given FC device from a remote SAN on only one SANbox 6142 in the local
physical SAN. If you import the same FC device from multiple SANbox
6142s into the same physical SAN, the system duplicates FC world wide
port names (WWPNs). This can disrupt the SAN.
