SAN Configurations
This chapter provides an example of a Windows NT and Windows 2000 SAN configu-
ration and provides high-level installation instructions for installing the Windows SAN
with either PowerVault 650F and 651F storage systems or the 660F storage system.
NOTE: For information about the PowerVault 530F SAN appliance, see Chapter 5,
“Dell PowerVault 530F SAN Appliance Configurations.”
Windows NT or Windows 2000 SAN
Figure 3-1 shows an example of a Windows NT or Windows 2000 SAN configuration
with 20 Windows NT or Windows 2000 servers. Installation procedures for a
Windows SAN vary depending on whether it includes the 650F and 651F or the 660F.
To install and configure the 650F or 651F in a Windows SAN, you should use the
following management software:
• Dell OpenManage Data Managed Node
• Dell OpenManage Data Administrator or Dell OpenManage Data Supervisor
• Dell OpenManage Application Transparent Failover (ATF)
• Dell OpenManage Storage Consolidation
• QLogic Fibre Channel Configuration Utility
To install and configure the 660F in a SAN, you need to use the following software:
• QLogic QLDirect
• QLogic Fibre Channel Configuration Utility
• Dell OpenManage Array Manager
You do not need Dell OpenManage Hardware Instrumentation Package (HIP) if
Array Manager is used to manage only servers with Fibre Channel HBAs. How-
ever, if Array Manager is used to manage servers with PERC RAID controllers,
you must install HIP on the management station before installing Array Manager.
