Reg Physical connectivity between clariion and celerra
Hi....
I am new to EMC products....I just went through some of the documents on Celerra and Clariion...I have couple of questions regarding the connectivity.It may be simple..It would be great if someone can help me out.
1.How to connet Celerra boxes to Clarrion?
Like we have fc ports and iscsi ports at SPs and BE ports at Celerra....Is this BE ports are fibre or ethernet type??If fc,then its mandatory to have FC switches right?If not how we connect the ethernet port of celerra to fc port of clariion??Why the iscsi ports on clarriion then?
2. How can we connect the simple windows host to clarion ie how to map the available LUN to client..??Do this client needs HBA??
Also one more question on brocade switch...I have read some documents on zoning.So when we connect the source and targets for zoning...Do we need to configure it first on switch before doing zoing?
Please help me on these.......
Thanks a lot in advance.

Zoning
in zoning their are two things
1 port
2 node
when port logs on fabric first time it is allocated dynamic address from the
domains of switch
when node enters it is allocated with a static name that is world Wide Name
by name server statically and it does not change
hence before zoning these conditions should be met.
Clarrion
it is a device act as a storage array
Active to Passive Array Based
Cellera
it is NAS device for file transfer so what is the need to join
Clarion Host Connectivity
Yes we need HBA
because connectivity will be done with the help of port and port are present
on HBA and corresponding ports are on Storage device i.e clarrion hence they
both are configured accordingly

Dear Mukesh..
Thanks for your response.....If I use clariion as the back end for Celerra..Then we should have a connectivity...I was asking about that....
