When you apply High Speed mode or Initiator/External MIX mode, each pair of ports in a port
block must satisfy the following conditions.
•
The two ports take the same fabric option (Enable or Disable).
•
The two ports take FC-AL as the Connection option.
•
The two ports use different port addresses and no matching addresses.
•
When you apply High Speed mode, the two ports take the same port attribute (the attribute
can be Initiator, RCU target, or Target).
•
When you apply Initiator/External MIX mode, one port takes the Initiator attribute and the
other port takes the External attribute.
•
Only one port is to be used for connecting the host.
(page 67) shows an example of High Speed mode or Initiator/External MIX mode applied to one
or two port blocks when the channel adapter board has 8 ports.
