Private Translated Loop Connections
Figure 2-7 is an example of Translated Loop ports (TL_Ports) used in conjunction
with each other and with F and FL_Ports. Use Switch management to configure the
appropriate TL_Ports and to identify the “off loop” initiators and targets for
devices on each TL_Port.
Note in Figure 2-7 that Public Server 1 (a Public device) is an initiator for RAID 1
on Private Loop 1. Private Server 2 (a Private device on Private Loop 2) is an initi-
ator for RAID 1 on Private Loop 1. Private Server 2 (a Private device on Private
Loop 2) is an initiator for RAID 2 on the Public Storage Loop.
