Abstract
This document describes the configuration of fabric-attached and network-attached IBM® System Storage™ N series storage systems running the Data ONTAP® 7.3 release family in iSCSI and Fibre Channel (FC) environments. This guide explains the various topologies that are supported, how shared SAN configurations (i.e., hosts accessing both N series and non-N series storage arrays) are supported, and describes the relevant SAN configuration limits for each N series model.
