Table 6-7 summarizes the connectivity options for both data transfer and remote operations.
Data transfer involves external communications between the service processor and 3PAR or
another connection portal. Remote operations include problem solving and diagnostics
performed from a remote location. 3PAR recommends that both data transfer and remote
operations take place through the customer network when possible.
NOTE: When the service processor connects by modem, the customer is
responsible for supplying an analog phone line.
