When configuring the system, use the XP LUN Configuration and Security Manager Software 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 XP LUN Configuration and
Security Manager Software 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 .
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 1 ).
For more information, see Addressing Fibre Channel ports .
