Fibre Channel Support:

Fibre Channel Support	All Firmware supports Fibre Channels
Channel Mode	All channels configurable to Host or Drive mode, user
	configurable.
Redundant controller	Redundant using FC controllers supported.
Host-side loop failure	Supported. The LIPs on the host channels will not be
detection	displayed to users.
Drive-side loop failure	Supported.
detection
Point-to-point topology	Supported.
Arbitrated loop topology	Supported.
Fabric topology	Supported.
Host Redundant loop /	Supported. (Also requires the host computer Fibre HBA
dual-loop topology	driver support)
Drive side redundant loop	Workloads can be automatically balanced between
load-sharing	member loops for performance optimization.
Fibre channel ID	User selectable from ID 0 to 125.
Fibre channel CRC	Supported
Native Fibre Interface	3-pin Copper: can be converted to optical with a MIA or
	GBIC HUBs.

LUN Filtering (RAID-	Host LUN mapping with user-configurable Filter entry
Based Mapping)	and Filter type (access control), up to 128 Filter entries
	can be appended to Host-ID/LUN combinations.
	! Host channel HBA WWN browsing: a list of WWNs
	from detected HBAs on the host channel will be
	provided for user's convenience when masking LUN
	Filtering.
	! Bit-masking: Based on the user provided WWN of
	the host HBA (user can enter the WWN manually
	from a list browsed or that provided by the controller).
	Users can also assign a bit-masking to group a
	certain group of WWNs to be included in the LUN
	Filtering.
	! Read/Write Privilege: Users can choose the following
	privilege for each LUN Filtering: Read/Write, Read
	Only, and No Access.
WWN table stored in	Each WWN number can be assigned with a nick name
NVRAM	for ease of identification
Sync. cache channel over	Supported, no extra cabling between two controllers;
Fibre loops	communications data can be distributed to one or two
	dedicated channels or over all drive loops.
