Configuring Storage Area Network (SAN)

The Storage Area Network (SAN) configuration page lets you connect your Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance to your storage area network. A SAN comprises three basic components:

• A client that will access the storage on the network

• A storage appliance that will provide the storage on the network

• A network that will link the client to the storage
