Large Configurations
Up to eight SSAadapters can be connected in a particular SSA loop, and up to 48 disk
drives can be included in that loop. Figure10 shows an example of a large
configuration that has eight adapters in eight using systems.
Figure11 shows an example of a large configuration that has eight adapters in four
using systems.
