• Block-optimized deployments with FC-only

Block-optimized deployments with FC-only

Deploy PowerStore T model in Block-optimized (FC-only) configuration to yield the highest block performance.

If the PowerStore T model is deployed in Block-optimized (with only Fibre Channel connectivity), no Top-of-Rack (ToR)

switches are required.

NOTE: If you are enabling services such as iSCSI host connectivity, replication, import, clustering or Network Attached NAS

your deployment will require two ToR switches. See Part 2: Networking with ToR switches.
