PreviouslyPublishedAs 203791 Applies to:Sun StorageTek SL8500 Modular Library System - Version Not Applicable and laterSun StorageTek T10000A Tape Drive - Version Not Applicable and later Sun StorageTek T10000B Tape Drive - Version Not Applicable and later StorageTek T10000C Tape Drive - Version Not Applicable and later All Platforms Checked for relevance on 5-July-2012. GoalThis document summarizes what Fibre Channel topologies the Oracle/StorageTek[TM] T10000 tape drive support. FixSteps to Follow T10k-2gb FCP (SCSI) protocol 1. N-to-N port connections, i.e. Direct connect, HBA N-port directly connected to T10k N-port. 2. N-to-F port connections, i.e. Switch connected, Switch F-port directly connected to T10k N-port. 3. NL-to-NL port connections, i.e. Private Loop, HBA NL-port to T10k NL-port via Loop port Hub or not. 4. NL-to-FL port connections, i.e. Public Loop, Switch FL-port to T10k NL-port via Loop port Hub or not. T10k-4gb FCP (SCSI) protocol 1. N-to-N port connections, i.e. Direct connect, HBA N-port directly connected to T10k N-port. 2. N-to-F port connections, i.e. Switch connected, Switch F-port directly connected to T10k N-port. See Note 1. T10k-2gb FICON protocol 1. N-to-N port connections, i.e. Direct connect, HBA N-port directly connected to T10k N-port. 2. N-to-F port connections, i.e. Switch connected, Switch F-port directly connected to T10k N-port. See Note 2. T10k-4gb FICON protocol 1. N-to-N port connections, i.e. Direct connect, HBA N-port directly connected to T10k N-port. 2. N-to-F port connections, i.e. Switch connected, Switch F-port directly connected to T10k N-port. Legend: NOTE 1 - The T10k-4gb drive utilizes a Qlogic In-line Credit Extender (ICE) chip that gives it the ability to support up to 600 Buffer to Buffer credits to support long distance up to 100km. However it does NOT support Loop mode. NOTE 2 - The FICON protocol does not support Loop mode, regardless of what the drive hardware supports.
