Storage Concepts

Each Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System server contains two dual port HBA
cards. Using pairs of optical fiber cables, you can connect to storage directly or by
using Fibre Channel switches.
When the Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway System is connected directly to
storage without using a Fibre Channel switch, it is referred to as a "direct attach."
Storage is configured using LUN masking.
Most Sun StorageTek 5320 NAS Gateway Systems are connected to SAN storage
using a Fibre Channel switch, which is referred to as a "fabric attach." Because a
switch can be a single point of failure, multiple switches can be used. Multiple
switches can be configured with LUN masking to allocate storage to specific servers.
