SAN File System supports
a single master console that can be shared with other IBM
® TotalStorage
® products,
such as SAN Volume Controller. If you do not already have a master console,
you must obtain a rack-mounted, high-performance, highly-reliable Intel™ server (such as the IBM eServer™ xSeries
® 305
or equivalent) with the following options:
- One Pentium® 4
processor, minimum 2.6 GHz.
- Minimum of 1 GB of system memory.
- Two IDE hard disk drives, minimum 40 GB each. During installation, you
will mirror these drives.
- CD-ROM and diskette drives.
- Two 1Gb ports for Ethernet connections (fiber or copper).
- One 2Gb Fibre Channel host bus adapter (HBA) ports, such
as QLogic 2342 (dual port) or QLogic 2340 (single port) FC-2 cards or equivalent.
- Keyboard, such as the Space Saver NLS keyboard or equivalent.
- Monitor, such as Netbay 1U Flat Panel Monitor Console kit without keyboard
or equivalent.
