Unless the MD San has a sas connector, in which you need a sas controller on the server, I believe your only option is a iscsi direct or through a switch that supports jumbo frames.

I have iscsi san storage MD32xxi with 4 network cards.and I wanted to connect dell poweredge r710 to it.<br />
a colleague told me that I can connect my server to storage from server( iscsi port configuration) instead of windows iscsi initiator.<br />
he said that ,it is better,faster and reliable this way.<br />
however I couldn't do that specially that this server doesn't come with built in HBA card and it only has 4 network cards.<br />
any Help please.

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.
