You can find information about SANs in print and on the Internet. Because this industry changes constantly, check these resources frequently. If you are new to SAN technology, familiarize yourself with the basic terminology. A storage area network (SAN) is a specialized high-speed network that connects computer systems, or host servers, to high performance storage subsystems. The SAN components include host bus adapters (HBAs) in the host servers, switches that help route storage traffic, cables, storage processors (SPs), and storage disk arrays. A SAN topology with at least one switch present on the network forms a SAN fabric. To transfer traffic from host servers to shared storage, the SAN uses Fibre Channel (FC) protocol that packages SCSI commands into Fibre Channel frames. To rest...
