Figure 47 Difference between Standard Mode and Initiator/External MIX Mode
Figure 48
on page 104 shows an example of using Continuous Access or Continuous Access Journal with
remote command device. In Figure 48 on page 104, the System 1 functions as MCU of Continuous Access
or Continuous Access Journal, and at the same time it functions as the local storage system of the remote
command device. the System 2 functions as RCU of Continuous Access or Continuous Access Journal,
and at the same time it functions as the external storage system of the remote command device. In this
case, the setting of Continuous Access pair or Continuous Access Journal pair and setting of the remote
command device are both made using the port of the Initiator/External MIX mode. As this example
shows, you only need to connect one cable to one of the ports that are set to the Initiator/External MIX
mode, this means that you do not need to connect cables to each port of different port attributes.
