Difference Between Standard And Initiator/External Mix Modes - HP StorageWorks XP12000 User Manual

Figure 67 Difference between Standard and Initiator/External MIX modes
Figure 68 shows an example of using Continuous Access XP or Continuous Access XP Journal with a
remote command device. In Figure 68, local array 1 functions as the MCU of Continuous Access XP
or Continuous Access XP Journal, and at the same time it functions as the local array of the remote
command device. Local array 2 functions as the RCU of Continuous Access XP or Continuous Access
XP Journal, and at the same time it functions as the external array of the remote command device. In
this case, setting the Continuous Access XP or Continuous Access XP Journal pair and setting the
remote command device are both done using the port of the Initiator/External MIX mode. As this
example shows, you only need to connect one cable to one of the ports set to Initiator/External MIX
mode, which means that you do not need to connect cables to each port of different port attributes.
