This chapter describes the necessary preparation for installation of the ETERNUS DX Disk
storage system.
1.1

Connection Preparation

This section describes the necessary information, and the devices and cables that should be pre-
pared before you connect the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to a Storage Area Network
(SAN) and a LAN network for operation management.
1.1.1

SAN Connection

A SAN is a dedicated network for connecting a server (host) to an ETERNUS DX Disk storage
system. FC, iSCSI, and SAS interfaces can be used for the host interface. The connection
destination may be the server or the switch depending on which connection configuration is
used. For the possible combinations of servers, Host Bus Adapters (HBAs), and switches, refer
to "Server Support Matrix" by accessing the URL that is described in "READ ME" on the
Documentation CD provided with the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system.
The host interface cables that are used for connecting the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to
a SAN must be obtained separately. When a switch is used to connect a FC or iSCSI model
ETERNUS DX Disk storage system to the server, the appropriate switch for the type of host
interface that is to be connected must also be prepared separately.
