Notes
Note the following issues when connecting the ETERNUS DX/AF to a server.
3.1

LAN Environment Notes

The ETERNUS DX/AF can be connected to a server via an existing LAN. However, a decrease in LAN perform-
•
ance may be observed by prior users of said LAN.
For the iSCSI LAN (used to transfer data), do not set multipath configuration with IP Network Multipathing
•
(IPMP).
Since an iSCSI LAN handles large amounts of data (traffic volumes) like an FC-SAN, the iSCSI LAN must have
•
its own switch and be a dedicated LAN that is separate from the business LANs.
For IP network security, separate the iSCSI LAN from the management LAN (for administration).
•
The iSCSI LAN must be configured as a dedicated LAN for each path from a server to the ETERNUS DX/AF.
•
A configuration where multiple LAN ports of a single server are connected to the same network may be
•
restricted depending on the OS and/or driver specifications. For a multipath connection, connect each path
using different LAN segments by separating the VLAN and so on.
