v
SCSI-FCP upper layer protocol (ULP) on point-to-point, fabric, and arbitrated
loop (private loop) topologies.
Note:
The 16 Gbps adapter does not support arbitrated loop topology at any
speed.
v
FICON ULP on point-to-point and fabric topologies.
Notes:
1.
SCSI-FCP and FICON are supported simultaneously on the same adapter, but
not on the same port.
2.
For highest availability, ensure that you add adapters in pairs.
A Fibre Channel cable is required to attach each Fibre Channel adapter port to a
server or fabric component port. The Fibre Channel cables can be 50 or 9 micron,
OM3 or higher fiber graded, single or multimode cables.
Feature codes for Fibre Channel host adapters
Use these feature codes to order Fibre Channel host adapters for your storage
system.
A maximum of 8 Fibre Channel host adapters can be ordered with DS8884F. A
maximum of 16 Fibre Channel host adapters can be ordered with DS8884 6-core
and 12-core and DS8886 and DS8886F 8-core processors. A maximum of 32 Fibre
Channel host adapters can be ordered with DS8886 and DS8886F 16-core and
24-core processors. A maximum of 16 Fibre Channel host adapters can be ordered
with DS8888F with 24-core processors, and a maximum of 32 Fibre Channel host
adapters can be ordered with DS8888F with 48-core processors.

If you are replacing an existing host adapter with a higher speed host adapter, once the
exchange process has started, do not make any changes to the host configuration until
the replacement is complete. Port topology is restored during the exchange process, and
the host configuration appears when the host adapter is installed successfully.
Feature codes for Fibre Channel cables
Use these feature codes to order Fibre Channel cables to connect Fibre Channel
host adapters to your storage system. Take note of the distance capabilities for
cable types.
