Completion of Loop Initialization

Figure 1.23 General Public Loop Initialization sequence
At this point, Public Loop establishes between Fabric and Drive.
1.13
Dual Loop
This drive has a Dual Port configuration with two ports (A, B). Viewed from the Fibre
Channel Interface, these two ports appear to exist as two independent devices.
Even though these two ports are independent to the interface, since they use the storage
medium in common, internally, during reading or writing from one of the ports, read or write
requests from the other port must wait.
The matrix for transmitting and receiving of frames at the interface is defined as shown below.
