In this chapter, we learned about different storage connectivity protocols, including FC and iSCSI. We looked into configuring FC, FCoE, and zoning directly on the Fabric Interconnect's storage connectivity, which involves some SAN policies configuration. iSCSI is SCSI over IP, and requires vNICs and Ethernet for connectivity but no special configuration is required other than what was explained in Chapter 5, Configuring LAN Connectivity. Finally, we looked into SAN pin groups which have the same concepts as LAN pin groups, but have a slightly different failure behavior.

In the next chapter, we will look into identity and resource pools, which provide resources such as UUIDs, MAC addresses, WWNN, and WWPN for the service profiles for the servers
