Hardware Configuration

This chapter describes the ExtremeZ SAN hardware and how to configure it for use.

ExtremeZ SAN Hardware

Several hardware components make up the ExtremeZ SAN system.
A Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) card is
installed in a PCI expansion slot in each client
and server system. The HBA uses fiber optic
cabling.
A SANergy hardware lock (dongle) connects to
the parallel port of each client and server system
on which SANergy software will be installed.
SANergy software will not run unless this
hardware lock is installed.
The Fibre Channel hub is the central
connection point between the client
and server systems and the Fibre
Channel disk arrays.
