SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System Deployment Guide
Front-End Connectivity
Front-end connectivity provides I/O paths from servers to a storage system and replication paths from one Storage Center to another Storage Center. The SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system provides the following types of front-end connectivity:
- Fibre Channel – Hosts, servers, or network-attached storage (NAS) appliances access storage by connecting to the storage system Fibre Channel ports through one or more Fibre Channel switches. Connecting host servers directly to the storage system, without using Fibre Channel switches, is not supported.
- iSCSI – Hosts, servers, or network-attached storage (NAS) appliances access storage by connecting to the storage system iSCSI ports through one or more Ethernet switches. Connecting host servers directly to the storage system, without using Ethernet switches, is not supported.
When replication is licensed, the SCv3000 and SCv3020 storage system can use the front-end Fibre Channel or iSCSI ports to replicate data to another Storage Center
