Physical Interface
This chapter describes how the StorageTek tape drives attach to a Fibre
Channel (FC) interface and includes recommendations for hubs, cables, and
connectors.
■
Topologies
StorageTek tape drives support the following topologies with either single or
dual port attachments:
• Arbitrated Loop—private loop, NL_Port to NL_Ports
• Arbitrated Loop—public loop, NL_Port to NL_Ports, and one FL_Port
• Fabric F_Port attachment
• Point to Point attachment
Note: Dual port technology provides a redundant path and allows
connections to two ports, which increases the flexibility of the drive.
Only one port on a drive may be active for data transfer at a time.

Arbitrated Loop
Figure 3 is an example of a hub producing an arbitrated loop.
