is not managed by the NAS E7000 directly. In the case of clustered NAS E7000 deployments, it is important that the LUNs in use by the cluster follow the guidelines pointed out later in this chapter in the "Storage Management" section.

Product Overview Additional IP Networking Requirements • The environment must be able to support a separate, private network that connects only the two clustered nodes for the disk from each storage enclosure in any given RAID array.

the NAS E7000 occurs at the physical drive level. Physical drives are placed into the external storage enclosure or enclosures of the SAN storage network and are grouped into RAIDsets (LUNs) for fault tolerance and better performance. 1-14 Compaq StorageWorks NAS Executor E7000 Quick Start Guide - HP StorageWorks e7000 | NAS Executor e7000 v1 - Quick Start Guide - Page 26
