Overview:
This paper details the basic installation and configuration of an entry-level SAN with the IBM TotalStorage SAN16M-2 Express Model fabric switch. In less complex SAN environments, with fewer servers and storage arrays, single switch or dual cascaded switches offer redundancy and performance with minimal administration and lower cost than larger directors. For this example the authors used two IBM Thinkcentre machines running Windows as host servers. To connect to the 16M-2 switches utilized in this paper the Windows servers use QLogic QLA2300 HBAs.
