Site A, FC-to-SAS bridge 1 (FC_bridge_A_1a)​

Each SAS stack requires two FC-to-SAS bridges.

  • For FibreBridge 7600N bridges using both FC ports (FC1 and FC2), each bridge connects to FC_switch_A_1_port-number and FC_switch_A_2_port-number.

  • For FibreBridge 7600N bridges using one FC port (FC1 or FC2) only, one bridge connects to FC_switch_A_1_port-number and the second connects to FC_switch_A_2_port-number.
