Chapter 4: Advanced Operations
Assigning Device Types
If your system includes one or more secondary switches in a cascaded
configuration, you must make the primary switch aware of the secondary
switches by assigning a specific device type to the secondary switch.
Once you so this, the port numbering changes in the OSCAR Selection screen. In
the example below, the ports on the secondary switch are listed as 1-1 and 1-2.
The number before the hyphen indicates the primary switch port number that the
secondary switch occupies. The number after the hyphen is the port number on
the secondary switch for the server itself.
