Full-Fabric San Setup Details - Sun Microsystems StorEdge3000 Series Manual

Use of fabric point-to-point (F_port) connections between an array and fabric
I
switches limits to 128 the total number of LUNs that can be presented. Fibre
channel standards allow only one ID per port when operating point-to-point
protocols, resulting in a maximum of four IDs, with a maximum of 32 LUNs each,
supporting up to 128 LUNs.
When a fabric switch is connected to one port of channel 0 or channel 1 of a Sun
I
StorEdge 3511 SATA array, no connections can be made with the other three ports
of that channel. If channel 0 (port FC0) is connected to a fabric switch, for
example, the second port for channel 0 on that controller, and the FC0 ports on a
redundant controller, cannot be used. Similarly, if channel 1 (port FC1) is
connected to a fabric switch, the second FC1 port on that controller and the FC1
ports on a redundant controller, cannot be used.
