Planning Your Ds400 Storage System; Single Server, Single Storage Subsystem Configuration - IBM TotalStorage DS300 Hardware Installation And User's Manual

Planning your DS400 storage system

This section shows basic and complex example configurations that you can use for
your DS400 Fibre Channel external storage subsystem and storage network.

Single server, single storage subsystem configuration

Note: Switch zoning should be used to isolate data paths from the host server to
the storage subsystem, especially in a heterogeneous operating system
environment.
The following illustration is an example of a single server, single storage subsystem
configuration.
