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.
