A-2 Storage Architecture Overview
A.1 Storage Architecture and Options
A VAX 7000 system can connect disks and tapes on the XMI bus via
the VAX 7000 to XMI adapter (DWLMA) using KDM70 and KFMSA-
BA adapters. VAX 7000 systems also have multiple paths for CI,
DSSI, and Ethernet connections.
Figure A-1 VAX 7000 Architecture
VAX 7000 systems have several choices of VMScluster adapters and com-
munication interconnects. Figure A-1 shows a system architecture, and Ta-
ble A-1 lists the adapters and configuration limits.
