A customer manager should review the site plan with a service representative and consider: • Location and relationship of the physical facilities such as walls, doors, windows, partitions, furniture, and telephones. • Proximity of the director, fabric switch, or SAN router to servers and storage peripherals, and if a multiswitch fabric is to be enabled, proximity of participating fabric elements to each other. • Location of at least one analog phone line (capable of providing long-distance service) for the management server to support the call-home feature or provide remote dial-in support. In addition, consider accessibility to a second phone to aid in installation and serviceability. • Availability of Ethernet local area network (LAN) connections and cabling to support remote user workstation and simple network management protocol (SNMP) management station access. Remote user and SNMP workstations are optional. • Equipment cabinet locations, Ethernet cabling, and the Internet protocol (IP) addressing scheme to support optional cabinet interconnection and management server consolidation. 6-2 McDATA Products in a SAN Environment - Planning Manual
