Directly Connecting Devices to SANbox SSP

SANbox SSP supports the direct connection of its ports to initiator devices. When directly connecting a device to an SANbox SSP port, make sure that:

■The device is explicitly configured for loop-only operation (point-to-point is not supported for directly connecting at this time). See the documentation for your device for more information.

■if you are attaching a host, the SANbox SSP port mode is set to target or initiator-target mode. Do not directly connect storage devices or the SVM appliance to the SANbox SSP.

See "Modify Port Command" on page B-14for details on configuring port modes.
