Hi , John.
You can find a "primer" on the subject at
www.sanacademy.com/SAN101
See also
http://www.fibrechannel.com/
and remember that you can have a SAN just for those external systems.
There is the ZONE concept which is very similar to the VLAN one.
The bad new is that you can have " IP over FC (Fibre Channel)" and this is
enough to you figure out the rest.
I hope this helps.
Best Regards ,
P L Steinbruch
