Note – You can attach different types of storage devices to the same switch, as long
as the storage devices are on different zones.
Each controller that is connected to a switch must have a unique loop ID. Whenever
you add a second controller to a switch, make sure that the loop ID of the controller
being connected is different from the loop ID of any other controller currently
connected to the same switch. See “Setting the Loop ID” on page 32-34 for
instructions about setting the loop ID.
