SAN (Storage Area Network) storage is a high-performance network of storage devices.
SAN (Storage Area Network) storage is a high-performance network of storage devices that provides block-level storage to multiple servers.
It is usually connected to servers using Fibre Channel or iSCSI protocol technology and provides a way to consolidate, centralize and share data among multiple servers. SANs provide increased speed and performance for data-intensive applications and offer better scalability and reliability than traditional direct-attached or network-attached storage.
How to configure SAN storage
1. Install the hardware: Install the hardware components according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure all cables are properly connected and the hardware is set up correctly.
2. Configure the SAN: Use the SAN’s software to configure the SAN. This includes setting up the SAN’s storage pools, assigning storage to them, and setting up the SAN’s networking components.
3. Install the drivers: Install the necessary drivers for the SAN’s hardware components, such as the disk controllers and the network interface cards.
4. Configure the hosts: Install the SAN’s client software on the computers or servers that will access the SAN. This allows the hosts to connect to the SAN and access its storage.
5. Test and deploy: Test the SAN to ensure it works correctly. Once it is tested and working properly, deploy it into production.
