A.7.1.3 Creating Direct attach networks and adding them to the uplink sets

You can connect an HP 3PAR StorServe Storage system directly to the interconnects. This is called
a Direct attach network configuration, also known as Flat SAN. To see a graphical representation
of the configuration, see

Figure 18 (page 277)

.

If you are using a Direct attach connection, you must create Direct attach Fibre Channel networks.
When you create the Direct attach networks, you do not need to know what physical connections
are used or which enclosure is connected to the storage system. The physical connections are
specified in the uplink sets. For this procedure, you must supply the names of the networks, and
decide if you want to change the default values the appliance provides for configuration attributes
like preferred bandwidth, maximum bandwidth, and uplink speed.
