    All SCSI buses are terminated at the physical ends of the bus. This is true even when using a DWZZH UltraSCSI Hub. DWZZH UltraSCSI Hubs are factory set to terminate the SCSI bus. No user configuration of the SCSI terminators is required.

  • Page 27: Swcc And Ultrascsi Hubs

    Agents and Storage It is highly recommended that you only run one SWCC agent on one of the servers that can access a particular storage subsystem behind the DS-DWZZH-05 UltraSCSI Hub. Using SWCC through the client-agent model is very similar to using a serial terminal to access the HSZ70 controller;...
  • Page 28 DWZZH 16-Bit UltraSCSI HUB This type of configuration would prevent systems with different SCSI IDs from accessing disks ‘belonging to’ a particular SCSI ID, which promotes data security between servers on a shared SCSI bus; however, it does not prevent SWCC from performing tasks on those disks.

  • Page 34 DWZZH 16–UltraSCSI Hub UltraSCSI An improvement in SCSI technology invented in 1993 by the Compaq Computer Corporation StorageWorks Engineering Group. Subsequently the ANSI SCSI Standards Committee issued standard X3T10 for UltraSCSI. The UltraSCSI improvements over Fast SCSI include the following: Maximum transfer rate increases from 10 MHz to 20 MHz.
