LAN Environment Notes

•

The ETERNUS Disk storage system can be connected to a server via an existing LAN.

However, a decrease in LAN performance may be observed by prior users of said LAN.

•

For the iSCSI LAN (used to transfer data), do not set multipath configuration with IP Network

Multipathing (IPMP).

•

As with an FC-SAN, because of the large data flows (traffic volumes) the iSCSI LAN is

assumed to be a dedicated LAN separate from the business and management LANs, and

constructed with its own LAN switch.

•

For IP network security reasons too, it is useful to separate the iSCSI LAN (for data transfers)

and management LAN (for administration) to prevent cross-access between them (use of

VLAN to separate the LAN segments is recommended).

•

A configuration where multiple LAN ports of a single server are connected to the same

network may be restricted depending on the OS and/or driver specifications. For a multipath

connection, connect each path using different LAN segments by separating the VLAN and so

on.
