SAN Boot improves availability, manageability and maintainability
SAN Boot function loads and starts OS from a disk array via fibre channel interface.
Configuration and management of Solaris Containers
Use with high-reliability disk array (ETERNUS)
ETERNUS unifies data and provides stable storage operation.
Reduced time for backup/restore and patch application
Disk to disk copy function shrinks server maintenance time such as backup and restore, as well as patch application.
Collaboration with PRIMECLUSTER
A cluster system can be configured using PRIMECLUSTER.
Manageability improvements
An unified boot disk management
Server boot disks can be unified on a single disk array, simplifying boot disk management (backup/restore).
Managing development environment generations
Software development servers can be unified with a single disk array, This enables use of multiple development generations, reducing server quantity and management costs.
Improved maintainability
Simplification of faulty disk exchange
System administrators are freed from disk maintenance work. A faulty disk can now be replaced without server stoppage as the SAN disk is physically separate. Service engineers can replace the disk while operations continue.
