SAN reference

[Shankar_6]

Hi all,

I would like to know the basic concepts of SAN and the steps involved in configuring it.I am not finding any good document for this in the internet.

If someone provide me the link or a PDF it will be helpful to me.

Yes sure!
Go here:
www.hp.com/go/sandesign

Here you find lots of very good SAN documents.

I would start with the SAN design reference guide
http://h200002.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00093931/c00093931.pdf
Chapter 1 talks about SANs in general and the subsequent chapters go more into depth.
This is an HP focused document.

If you want to get more general information I can recommend the book "Building Storage Networks" from Marc Farley

Cheers
Peter

Remember to assign point for each solotion.
