Cable Fibre Channel Devices to the Switch

Private Segmented Loop Connections

Figure 2-6shows the connection of Private Loop servers and Private Loop storage units. Each SL_Port is one segment of a segmented loop. Each segmented loop may be divided into a maximum of 33 segments. Use Switch management to conﬁgure the appropriate ports to SL mode and to link SL_Ports (segments) into segmented loops. For example, you could have Server 1 and the RAID on one segmented loop and the remainder of the servers and the JBODs on another segmented loop. Remember that these private devices cannot communicate between private loops through the Switch, only within their segmented loop.
