Hi Everyone,
I'm thinking about running Fibre-channel between three sites, triangulating
between pairs of Compaq Sanswitch-16's. At each site, the storage would be
connected via HSG80 pairs, to ESA and/or EMA storage subsystems, with access
from Tru64 machines and probably VMS systems.
I haven't come across a lot in terms of topology for Fibre-channel fabrics,
like whether and how to do this. But neither have I read anything that says
we can't.
I'm concerned with how the devices will appear to each Tru64 system - will
there be problems due to a looping affect round the various paths?
Has anyone attempted to do such a thing, or know where I can get hold of
enough information to set this up, or not, as the case may be?
It would be useful to get some insight before setting up a testbed.
Thanks,
Steve Smith
