• Simplified configuration using the SANconf tool
This section describes the SANconf tool, which simplifies
configuration on Windows, HP-UX, and Solaris systems in a SAN
environment.
Configuration Goals
The SAN environment can range from one host using a library to several
hosts using several libraries. The hosts can run on several operating
system platforms. In the example below, the SAN environment is made
up of the following systems:
• two Windows NT systems (the Windows NT system dupin is used as
the default host to control the library robotics)
• one Windows 2000 system
• one HP-UX 11.11 system
• one bridge
• one s witch
• one library with 4 HP LTO Ultrium drives and 40 slots
