Port assignments for systems using two initiator ports
You can configure DM7000H and AFA DM7000F systems using a single initiator port for each fabric and two initiator ports for each controller.
You can follow the cabling for the FibreBridge 7600N bridge using only one FC port (FC1 or FC2). Instead of using four initiators, connect only two initiators and leave the other two that are connected to the switch port empty.
If zoning is performed manually, then follow the zoning used for a FibreBridge 7600N bridge using one FC port (FC1 or FC2). In this scenario, one initiator port rather than two is added to each zone member per fabric.
The following table shows port assignments for FC switches.
