You can use the following host mode options to improve response time of
host I/O by improving response time between the storage systems when
switches are used for distance connections (up to 100 km) and the open
package is used.
• Host mode option 49 (BB Credit Set Up Option1)
• Host mode option 50 (BB Credit Set Up Option2)
• Host mode option 51 (Round Trip Set Up Option).
For host mode options, see the Hitachi Virtual Storage Platform G1000
Provisioning Guide for Open Systems .
The fabric and topology settings depend on the settings of packages, and
protocol used for the connection between storage systems, and the host
mode option (HMO) 51 setting. The link speed that can be specified differs on
each condition either.
