HP Storage Essentials SRM 6.0 User Guide 171
Assume you have the same configuration as the first example, with two Windows 2000 hosts that
are directly attached to storage systems, with no Fibre Channel (FC) connections and with a total of
0 FC ports, as shown in the following figure:
Figure 25 An Example of Direct Attached Storage
The software calculates four MAPs (see the figure), since we assume one MAP for each host, even
though it has no Fibre Channel ports. The storage systems are counted, since they are supported by
the management server. If you include the MAPs from the first example (140 MAPs), it brings the
total to 144 MAPs.
If we had a configuration which included a switch, two managed hosts, and several unmanaged
hosts, the MAPs would not be used against the unmanaged hosts.
Some switches allow the user to turn off an unused GBIC. (Gigabit Interface Converter). If a GBIC is
turned off, the port is not counted. However, if the GBIC is turned on, or if there is no GBIC, the port
is counted.
