Host connectivity
Symmetrix DMX-3 supports connectivity to open systems hosts such
as UNIX, Linux, and Windows systems through iSCSI, GigE (SRDF),
and Fibre Channels. The Symmetrix DMX-3 supports mainframe
systems host connectivity through ESCON and FICON channels.
Note: Symmetrix DMX-3 only supports Fibre Channel connectivity for iSeries
hosts. The Symmetrix DMX-3 can support simultaneous connections to
mainframe systems hosts and open systems hosts when the required
Symmetrix ESP software is installed on the Symmetrix system.
