26 Overview of LUN Manager
• Point-to-point: The simplest fibre topology directly connects two devices together.
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
should 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 ” on page 99.
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 ” on page 99.
