Private Translated Loop Connections

Figure 2-7is an example of Translated Loop ports (TL_Ports) used in conjunction with each other and with F and FL_Ports. Use Switch management to configure the appropriate TL_Ports and to identify the “off loop” initiators and targets for devices on each TL_Port.

Note in Figure 2-7that Public Server 1 (a Public device) is an initiator for RAID 1 on Private Loop 1. Private Server 2 (a Private device on Private Loop 2) is an initi- ator for RAID 1 on Private Loop 1. Private Server 2 (a Private device on Private Loop 2) is an initiator for RAID 2 on the Public Storage Loop.
