3. In that folder, double-click
4. Click Finish.
The driver is installed.
5. Optionally, delete the extracted files and the SES driver package.

Configuration Considerations

Before connecting the controller enclosure to one or more data hosts, consider the
following options and limitations. Fault tolerance and performance requirements
determine whether to optimize your configuration for high availability or high
performance.

Using a Direct or Switch Attach Configuration

Attaching the controller enclosure directly to data hosts is suitable for environments
where the storage is only used by one or two hosts.
Switch attach storage places one or more FC switches between the controller
enclosure and data hosts. This enables more than one host to share a storage system
and provides a level of redundancy if more than one switch is used.
