Direct connect

NOTE:
Direct connect is currently supported on Microsoft Windows only.
Direct connect provides a lower cost solution for smaller configurations. When using direct connect,
the storage system controllers are connected directly to the host(s), not to SAN Fibre Channel switches.
Make sure the following requirements are met when configuring your environment for direct connect:
• A management server running HP Command View EVA must be connected to one port on each
EVA controller. The management host must use dual HBAs for redundancy.
