SVS200 LUN Manager and Volume Manager (T1714-96015, October 2007)

Figure 7 FC-AL and Point-to-point topologies

When conﬁguring the system, use the LUN Manager pane to specify whether the hosts and array are

connected by a fabric switch.

If you use a fabric switch, you must specify FC-AL or point-to-point in the LUN Manager pane (by default,

FC-AL is speciﬁed). If you use a fabric switch, see the fabric switch's documentation to learn whether

you shou

ld use FC-AL or point-to-point. Some fabric switches require that you specify point-to-point to

get the system running.

If you are not using a fabric switch, you must specify FC-AL. For more information, see Specifying Fibre

Channel topologies.

Fibre Channel port addresses

When conﬁguring the system, you must set addresses for Fibre Channel ports. When addressing Fibre

Channel ports, you can use the AL-PA (arbitrated-loop physical address) or loop ID as the address

(see Table 2).

For more information, see Addressing Fibre Channel ports.
