The following figure shows a switch
connection.
Some switch vendors require F port connectivity (for example, McData ED5000).
As shown in the following table, Fab settings, topology settings, and available link speed depend on the settings of the packages and protocols used for the storage system connections, as well as whether the host mode option 51 is used.
For details about HMOs, see the Provisioning Guide for the storage system.
