Fibre Channel Arbitrated

Fibre Channel Arbitrated
Loop Support

Loop Support

TruCluster Server supports Fibre Channel arbitrated loop for clusters with a maximum of two members only. The KGPSA-CA
is the only Fibre Channel adapter supported for arbitrated loop configurations. The DS-SWXHB-07 seven-port Fibre
Channel hub is required to build an arbitrated loop configuration and is restricted to use with DS10, DS20, DS20E, and
ES40 systems. The other AlphaServers including the DS10L and ES45 systems are not supported for arbitrated loop.

Hardware Configuration manual and Release Notes provide more information regarding SCSI controller configuration,
respectively:

KZPSA - PCI to Fast Wide Differential SCSI-2 adapter
KZPBA-CB/CC - PCI to UltraSCSI wide differential adapter
KZPEA-DB

- LVD Multimode U3 PCI SCSI Adapter

NOTE:

NOTE: KZPEA only supported for shared bus with one or two hosts. TruCluster V5.1B-1 Initial Patch Kit (IPK) is required.
