Table 160 HP P9000 (XP) Continuous Access Fibre Channel distances
Maximum distanceConfiguration
See Table 64 (page 156), Table 65 (page 156), and
Table 68 (page 158).
Single-switch or multi-switchSee Figure 125 (page 309).
Note: For Fibre Channel switch model support, contact
an HP storage representative.
For B-series switches and routers:
• Supports port-based routing (aptpolicy = 1) and
exchange-based routing (aptpolicy = 3). See also
Table 165 (page 314).
Port parameters for switch/fabric connect:
Note: For WDM distances, see Table 162 (page 310).
• Fabric = On, Connection = Point to Point
(recommended setting)
• Fabric = On, Connection = FC-AL
Note: For all switch configurations, HP P9000 (XP)
Continuous Access ports and host ports must be in
separate zones.
ESCON directors and repeaters
Figure 126 (page 309) and Figure 127 (page 310) show HP P9000 (XP) Continuous Access ESCON
director and repeater configurations. Table 161 (page 310) describes the maximum supported
distances.
