Datamover connectivity
Hi All,
We have Celerra NX-4 Storage. Backend is Clariion AX4-5F8.
4 front ports/SP available and two ports per SP connected to data movers. Remaining two ports per SP connected to Brocade SAN switch for host access.
I understand data mover blades directly connected to the back end.
Can we connect the blades to Brocade SAN switch which already connected to the front ports? Is it recommended?
This is just for my knowledge. I aware that we loss 4 switch POD license.

technically i can't think of any reasons why it would not work but this is sold as a unitified platform so datamovers are connected directly to SP ports. There are VG (gateway models) that connect through an FC switch.
