SCv3000 and SCv3020 Storage System With Fibre Channel Front-End Connectivity
A storage system with Fibre Channel front-end connectivity can communicate with the following components of a Storage Center system.
| Item | Description | Speed | Communication Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Server with Fibre Channel host bus adapters (HBAs) | 8 Gbps or 16 Gbps | Front End |
| 2 | Remote Storage Center connected via Fibre Channel for replication | 8 Gbps or 16 Gbps | Front End |
| 3 | Fibre Channel switch (A pair of Fibre Channel switches are recommended for optimal redundancy and connectivity) | 8 Gbps or 16 Gbps | Front End |
| 4 | Ethernet switch for the management network | 1 Gbps | System Administration |
| 5 | SCv3000 and SCv3020 with FC front-end connectivity | 8 Gbps or 16 Gbps | Front End |
| 6 | Storage Manager (Installed on a computer connected to the storage system through the Ethernet switch) | Up to 1 Gbps | System Administration |
| 7 | SCv300 and SCv320 expansion enclosures | 12 Gbps per channel | Back End |
