InfoStation 14-Bay FC User's Guide - Rev. B00

TYPICAL FIBRE CHANNEL CONFIGURATIONS

NOTES:

The installation, configuration, and use of the StorCase InfoStation chassis

requires a certain level of expertise and experience on the part of the user/

integrator. Since there are many configuration options and variables (ie. host

platforms, applications, etc), only general/typical configuration guidelines will

be discussed in this User's Guide.

For redundant loop configurations, make sure your O/S supports disk duplexing/

mirroring. Refer to O/S manufacturer's documentation for further information.

An additional PBP Module is available as an upgrade. Contact StorCase for

further ordering information.
