Note: The customer-supplied server running the
Windows operating system cannot be used with the storage system if it belongs to
different subnets, and if a router or a firewall is filtering packets according
to a defined condition. There is not a limit for the distance between the server
running the SVP application and the storage array being managed if they belong
to the same subnet.
Note: Make sure that antivirus software running on the SVP is inactive during the
following:
