Fibre Channel Host Environment
The library is supported by a wide variety of servers (hosts), operating systems, and
adapters. These attachments can change throughout the product's life cycle. To determine
the latest supported attachments, visit the Overland NEO web site.
Sharing on a Storage Area Network
With Storage Area Network (SAN) components, the possibilities for connecting multiple
systems and multiple drives have increased. Not all software and systems are designed to
share drives. Before you install a drive that would allow two systems to share it, check that
the systems and their software support sharing. If your software does not support sharing,
note that Fibre Channel switches have a zoning capability to form a SAN partition. For
systems that do not cooperate, use zoning to prevent the systems from sharing the same
drive. You can remove zoned partitions as you upgrade software and system levels.
