1.The host must be connected to the F-Port on the switch; Sun StorEdge T3 array must be connected to the TL port of the switch.

2.This implies 2 initiators (2 hosts) for simple arrays (T3WG), but 4 initiators (2 hosts) for a partner pair (T3ES). Each host has one path to each of the Sun StorEdge T3 arrays in the partner pair.
