4 Direct target attachment Direct target attachment FCP targets can directly connect to an AG module instead of through a fabric connection, as illustrated in Figure 14. Fabric-Attached Target Servers Direct-Attached Target Servers Switch in AG Mode Fabric Switch in AG Mode Fabric FCP Target FCP Target FIGURE 14 Direct target attachment to switch operating in AG mode Although target devices can be connected directly to AG ports, it is recommended that the switch operating in AG mode be connected to the core fabric. Considerations for direct target attachment Consider the following points for direct target attachment: • Direct target attachment to AG is only supported if the AG module is also connected to a core fabric. A switch module running in AG mode does not provide Name Services on its own, and routing to the target devices must be established by the core fabric. • Hosts and targets cannot be mapped to the same N_Port. • Redundant configurations should be maintained so that when hosts and targets fail over or fail back, they do not get mapped to a single N_Port. 74 Access Gateway Administrator's Guide 53-1002743-01
