Basic Network Structure

Figure 34

shows the basic structure of a SCSI routing network. IP hosts with

iSCSI drivers access the storage routers through an IP network connected to the
Gigabit Ethernet interface of each storage router. The storage routers access
storage devices connected to the Fibre Channel interfaces of each storage router.
A management station manages the storage routers through an IP network
connected to the management interface of each storage router. For high
availability (HA) operation, the storage routers communicate with each other over
two networks: the HA network connected to the HA interface of each storage
router and the management network connected to the management interface of
each storage router.
