SANTap
Proxy Mode-2
Proxy mode-2 includes the benefits of transparent mode and proxy mode-1 but does not have the
limitations of those modes. However, it does require that the administrator partition the SAN using
VSANs. The host initiator and the DVT are in one VSAN while the VI and the target are in another
VSAN. See Figure 23-4.
