1 FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS DX S3 series Windows 7 iscsi Single Path Connection Disclaimer The connection information provided in this document is the connection result that was obtained at Fujitsu Limited's test environment. This does not guarantee a connection between the Windows 7 used in your environment and the ETERNUS DX. In addition, this is not a recommendation for using the ETERNUS DX with Windows 7. Fujitsu Limited shall assume no responsibility for any damages as a result of installing and using the ETERNUS DX with Windows 7 based on the connection information that is provided in this document. Fujitsu Limited does not accept inquiry on or provide support for any Windows 7 issues relating to FUJITSU Storage ETERNUS storage systems. Because of that, installing and using the ETERNUS DX with Windows 7 is at your own risk. The content of this document is subject to change without notice. System Configuration Notes Since an iscsi LAN handles large amounts of data (traffic volumes) like an FC- SAN, the iscsi LAN must have its own switch and be a dedicated LAN that is separate from the business LANs. For IP network security, separate the iscsi LAN from the management LAN (for administration). The iscsi LAN must be configured as a dedicated LAN for each path from a server to the ETERNUS DX.
