Each StorNext M330 MDC node contains one 2-port 8Gb Fibre Channel
(FC) host bus adapter (HBA) card in PCIe expansion slot 3.
Note: If small form-factor pluggable (SFP) FC adapters are needed,
use only Intel-based SFP adapters. SFP adapters from other
vendors are not compatible with the FC HBA card used in the
StorNext M330. Twinax cables have the adapters built into the
end of the cable, so they do not require SFP adapters.
Fibre Channel Zoning
Each Fibre Channel port supports dual-port tape drives and libraries.
StorNext clients should not be zoned to access the tape drives/libraries
unless they are acting as a Distributed Data Mover host.
Separate Fibre Channel zoning is required for tape and disk. If the
system has a tape library, use FC port 1 for disk, and FC port 2 for tape .
The actual zoning configuration for these devices is dependent on
variables such as the Fibre Channel switch vendor, the WWPN of the
HBA ports, and the external hardware.
