Connecting the Appliance to Hosts and Storage Arrays

Zones for back-end switches

Create zones that have one appliance initiator and one storage controller port. Storage arrays
may have one port per controller
appliance initiators connect to the switches as follows:
Table 7
connected to the switch (a total of 28 storage zones). For each storage controller port
connected to the switch, create four zones—one for each appliance initiator
can connect a maximum of 14 storage arrays to a non–cascaded 16–port switch (two initiators
multiplied by 14 storage arrays).
