Third-Party Platform Support Specifications
Configuration Guidelines
For complete configuration examples and instructions for the switch, refer to the Sun StorEdge network FC switch-8 and
switch-16 Installation and Configuration Guide.
Note – The FC switch-8 and switch-16 guide offers configuration procedures and examples for both the Sun StorEdge T3
array and for other arrays. Instructions and examples only for the Sun StorEdge T3 arrays apply to third-party operating
environments.
The configuration guidelines for operating the switch in a third-party operating environments are like those found in
Chapter 2 of the FC switch-8 and switch-16 guide. However, there are some additional guidelines as follows:
■ Arrays
■ Sun StorEdge T3 array for the workgroup and the enterprise are supported.
■ Other Sun StorEdge arrays are not supported.
■ Switches
■ For High Availability applications, configure two switches in parallel.
■ Zones for switch port groups
■ A maximum of four devices for each zone is possible with the Sun StorEdge T3 array.
■ A minimum of two ports for each zone are needed. For example, a 16-port switch can have a maximum of eight
zones.
■ For the Sun StorEdge T3 array, you may have a maximum of four arrays and two host I/O transfer initiators,
unless the host is using Windows NT. Windows NT support includes one host I/O transfer initiator.
■ The AIX and HP-UX operating environments support dynamic addition of storage to a zone, but Windows NT
does not. Because you must reboot the host to recognize storage added to a Windows NT host, the process is not
dynamic.
■ The Host Bus Adaptors (HBAs) for all hosts in a zone must be of the same make and model, using the same
firmware and device driver. Different HBAs or HBA firmware in a zone is not supported.
