About Application Servers
Application servers are consumers of SANsymphony-managed storage resources. Application servers can be any physical or virtual client machine with Fibre Channel (FC) or iSCSI capabilities. SANsymphony software supports all major open systems operating environments, including Windows, UNIX (all major brands), NetWare, Mac OS, VMware, and Linux.
SANsymphony storage servers serve virtual volumes to application servers using FC or iSCSI connectivity. The application servers will discover and use the virtual volumes in the same manner as directly attached disks.
In order to achieve high availability, two network adapters are required and qualified multipathing drivers are necessary on application servers to achieve automatic failover if one path to the mirrored virtual disk has I/O failures.
