Planning Fibre Channel server connections to management groups

Add each server connection that needs access to a volume to the management group containing
the volume. After you add a server connection to a management group, you can assign the server
connection to one or more volumes or snapshots.
NOTE: A server connection can be configured for both iSCSI and Fibre Channel connectivity.
However, there must be only one connection to a volume by a server.
