More about "Lesson 3: What makes a San go?"
You've identified the need for a San in your environment and
you're up to speed on the components that make up a San. Now it's
time to learn about the inside mechanics of a San. Lesson 3, "What
makes a San go?" covers latency, or moving data over a distance,
and bandwidth, which is the process of moving the data through your
network or bandwidth. You'll also learn about Fibre Channel, SCSI
and iSCSI networking protocols as well as the fabric name server
and how to perform zoning. You'll understand the different types of
zoning such as port zoning, world wide name zoning, and mixed
zoning which will help you allocate resources on your San. The
chapter concludes with a discussion of logical unit numbers and how
data is assigned to a server.
What you'll walk away with:
** Knowledge of how data moves across a network
** The definition of bandwidth
** An understanding of Fibre Channel protocols
** An exploration of world wide names
** An understanding of how San fabric addressing works
** The ability to ask Chris your specific San questions
