System Configuration Notes


 Since an iSCSI LAN handles large amounts of data (traffic volumes) like an FC-
SAN, the iSCSI LAN must have its own switch and be a dedicated LAN that is
separate from the business LANs.
 For IP network security, separate the iSCSI LAN from the management LAN (for
administration).
 The iSCSI LAN must be configured as a dedicated LAN for each path from a
server to the ETERNUS DX.
