SAN Architecture must meet RPQ criteria

• Limit number of paths for Xsan/StorNext clients to four

• This is to limit both complexity and the amount of time required to initialize clients

on the SAN

• Redundant Meshed Fibre Channel SAN (cross-connected)

• RDAC MPP supports this configuration

• Some IBM documentation may seem to preclude this, but those documents are

based on an old non-“mpp” version of RDAC

• Limits cause for failover to Controller failure

• Specific Firmware, software, and Operating System Levels
