protocols. In this case, whether or not CCL is required may become an issue. You can get
up-to-date information about configuration rules from application notes that are available

NOTE: Choosing either disabling CCL under SCSI-2 or enabling SCSI-3 will require you to make
an initial serial line connection to your HSG80 controller.
Serial Port Connection
This method is required to set up your controller and create your first virtual disk. This
chapter shows you how to use Command Line Interpreter (CLI) to disable CCL in SCSI-2.
You will also use CLI to create an initial virtual disk that enables subsequent SWCC
communications using one of the other two methods. The serial port method provides a
local, direct connection to your storage array.
NOTE: The rest of this chapter describes controller set up assuming you will retain SCSI-2
mode and disable CCL.
Other Communication Methods
After initial set up, you will be able to connect and communicate with your Enterprise
Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel system over a network or the SCSI bus.
■ SCSI Bus Connection. A local connection method allows you to connect to your
Enterprise Storage RAID Array Fibre Channel system over the SCSI bus.
■ Network Connection. You can communicate with your Enterprise Storage RAID Array
Fibre Channel system over a TCP/IP network.
