The NS20 and CX3-10C (yes, the CX3-10C is the underlying storage for the NS20) are different things - and the way you present storage is different. Are you presenting storage from the CLARiiON or the NS20?

To be honest, I dont know. &nbsp;Do I have to do both or is it better to do this from one vs. the other?

How to connect Windows Server 2008 to an EMC CX3-10

Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
