Operating Mode

The operating modes are determined by the host adapter. The six

 

 

operating modes for the switch are:

Mode

 

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Non-SCSI Tachyon Mode

When set, multiple sequences from different sources are interleaved to

 

 

 

Tachyon-based controllers at Sequence boundaries rather than at

 

 

 

frame boundaries, resulting in better performance from Tachyon-based

 

 

 

controllers.

 

 

 

 

Isolated Operation

Setting this mode isolates the switch from the rest of the Fabric.

 

 

 

 

Disable Device Probing

When this is set, devices that do not register themselves with the Name

 

 

 

Server will not be present in the Name Server data base.

 

 

 

 

VC-Encoded Address Mode

When this mode is set, frame source and destination addresses utilize

 

 

 

an address format compatible with some first-generation switches.

 

 

 

 

Disable Translative Mode

The setting is only relevant if VC Encoded Address Mode is also set.

 

 

 

When set, this maintains explicit address compatibility with some first-

 

 

 

generation switches.

 

 

 

 

Per-Frame Route Priority

In addition to the eight virtual channels used in frame routing priority,

 

 

 

support is also available for per-frame based prioritization when this

 

 

 

value it set. When set, the virtual channel ID will be used in conjunction

 

 

 

with a frame header to form the final virtual channel ID.

 

 

 

 

 

 

The administrator determines the adapter in use, then sets the switch

 

 

for the corresponding operating mode.

Virtual Channels

The switch provides the ability to tune the switch in a specific

 

 

application.

 

The first two virtual channels are reserved for the switch’s internal functions and are not available.

The default virtual channel settings are already optimized for switch performance. Changing the default values, if properly selected, may improve switch performance somewhat, but may also severely degrade performance. You should not change these settings without fully understanding the change’s effects.
