Host Prerequisites
To use Fibre Channel, check the host for the following:
■ Fibre Channel backup software, host interface adapters, and associated device
drivers.
■ Host that acts as an initiator using the Fibre Channel controller to
communicate with Fibre Channel SCSI target devices.
■ Backup application software with robust error recovery. Fibre Channel is an
open system, similar to LAN. Consequently, Fibre Channel is subject to data
flow interruptions from power cycling, connections, disconnections, and ESD
charges.
