Connectivity
The Scalar 1000 offers several different connectivity options,
allowing the library to support a wide range of backup
topologies and applications. Flexible library connectivity
delivers active support for loop and switched fabric Fibre
Channel protocols, along with SCSI.
SAN Connectivity
The Scalar 1000 can be connected to a Fibre Channel Storage
Area Network (SAN) via the Storage Networking Controller
(SNC).
The SNC provides four parallel SCSI bus connections, one
ethernet, and two Fibre Channel connections. The SNC allows
native SCSI devices (for example: robot controller and tape
drives) to be seen by any hosts that are attached to the SAN.
The library controller and the tape drives access the SAN via
the SNCs that can be installed in a Scalar 1000 CM or EM. See
Figure 2-2 on page 2-9.
