Fibre Channel Configurations

Fibre Channel Configurations

The Fibre Bridge is supported in a basic configuration on Digital Linear Tape (DLT) and Magneto-Optical (MO) libraries. The bridge is support in expanded configurations on DLT libraries. A basic configuration is comprised of only one Fibre Bridge (two SCSI buses available) and a host. Expanded configurations may include multiple hubs and hosts, usually connected to one or more networks.

Basic Configuration

Figure 1-1 shows the Fibre Bridge in a basic configuration, including one host or server, one Fibre Bridge, and one library.

Magneto-optical libraries are supported only on the basic configuration. You may connect a maximum of two MO libraries (one on each SCSI bus from the bridge).
