How to connect SAN and NAS with HP p-class Blade Server Systems

[Alpana Pradhan]

I am new to SAN and NAS and I am looking for some doucments that can guide me on how I can connect SAN and NAS with the Blade System.

I am using 4/16 HP SAN Switch, and i have HP GbE interconnect switch in my blade server which has fiber channel pass through.

Any help and suggestions will be appreciated.

Shalom,

NAS devices are generally accessed via NFS via a normal, copper wired network.

SAN's you connect to with fiber.

Your blade or blade enclosure has a HBA/Fiber channel interface.

Then you turn on the setup.

ioscan
ioscan -fnC disk

Might show you disk.

If the disk has never been configured you can use the PSP software for HP-UX to set the disk up. Have your intended use of the disk in mind for this.

You don't want to put a write heavy database on raid 5 for example.
