RCU I I RCU RCU I I RCU Local Remote 25327a Figure 118 XP Continuous Access single-switch and multi-switch Fibre Channel configurations . Table 171 XP Continuous Access Fibre Channel distances Configuration Maximum distance Single-switch or multi-switch (see Figure 118) Note: Contact an HP storage representative for Fibre Channel switch model support. See Table 77, Table 78, and Table 80. Note: For WDM distances, see Table 173. For B-series switches and routers: • Supports port-based routing (aptpolicy = 1) and exchange-based routing (aptpolicy = 3). See also Table 176. Port parameters for switch/fabric connect: • Fabric = On, Connection = Point to Point (recommended setting) • Fabric = On, Connection = FC-AL Note: For all switch configurations, XP Continuous Access ports and host ports must be in separate zones.
