Note: If you connect the ESS directly to the host system, the option you select
must match the port connections on the ESS. However, if you connect through
a switch, the options do not need to match the port connections because the
ESS is point-to-point. The appropriate HBA on the server must also support
point-to-point connection on a direct connection. Currently, disparate vendors
do not function properly in a direct point-to-point connection. This statement is
not true if you connect through a switch because the ESS is point-to-point.
