Directly Connecting Devices to SANbox SSP
SANbox SSP supports the direct connection of its ports to initiator devices. When
directly connecting a device to an SANbox SSP port, make sure that:
■ The device is explicitly configured for loop-only operation (point-to-point is not
supported for directly connecting at this time). See the documentation for your
device for more information.
■ if you are attaching a host, the SANbox SSP port mode is set to target or
initiator-target mode. Do not directly connect storage devices or the SVM
appliance to the SANbox SSP.
See "Modify Port Command" on page B-14 for details on configuring port modes.
