HI All,
What are IPFC(Internet Protocol over Fibre channel) SAN devices.
What all i got from guide is
"Configuring IPFC over host system describes host recognition of IPFC devices and implementation of IP over FC in SAN"
What does above statement actually mean. I would appreciate detailed explanation if any on IPFC devices.
Thanks in advance
It is very simple - it means 'using the fibre channel protocol over an internet connection instead of over fiber channel', like iSCSI uses internet instead of a direct SCSI connection.
If your boss wants this to save money, be careful. We have both. There are some serious issues with OS drivers e.g. solaris scsi_vhci
in what way does fibre channel over internet connection is useful than ordinary fibre channel.Can you brief me and what are the advantages than ordinary fibre channel
