Using Tape Backups on a SAN
You can use one or more NAS systems to back up data to a tape backup device on a storage area network (SAN). To use this
backup method, the NAS system(s), switch ports, and tape backup devices must be in separate zones. Because it is
necessary for these components to be in separate zones, the NAS system cannot access other servers or storage systems on
the SAN. For more information about SANs and creating zones in a SAN, see the documentation that came with your Fibre
Channel switch and your SAN Administrator's Guide. Figure 5-1 illustrates a typical configuration for backing up a NAS system
on a SAN tape device.

Each NAS system supports one Fibre Channel HBA, which provides a single path to the Fibre Channel SAN switch.
NOTE: The single HBA provides one data path, which does not support redundancy or failover capability.
