Planning host connectivity
The Symmetrix DMX-3 supports open systems connectivity through Fibre
Channel and iSCSI channel directors. Mainframe connectivity is supported
through ESCON and FICON channel directors. SRDF connections are
supported through GigE connections between Symmetrix systems.
Table 17 on page 77 describes each type of host channel director combination
currently supported.

total quantity of Symmetrix host channel adapter ports that are required for
your Symmetrix DMX-3.
