UltraSCSI protocol disables both buses when they are connected together. By using an UltraSCSI Hub you can accomplish the following: Provide radial disconnect where remaining connections can continue to operate. Provide fair SCSI arbitration for host nodes (DWZZH-05, -S5 and the -09 UltraSCSI Hubs only). EK-SMDZS-UG. B01 (Rack-Mountable)
Termination is provided by each of the host ports. A feature of the DWZZH-S5 Hub is that it is upgradeable from a five port Hub to a nine port Hub with the purchase of a DWZZH-09 Upgrade Kit. The kit contains another 5.25"...
Chapter 1. Introducing the 16-Bit UltraSCSI Hub (Rack-Mountable) 1.2.2 DWZZH-09 The DWZZH-09 is made up of two large Hubs connected by a 0.5m VHDCI cable (BN 37A-0E). A tri-link attached to the DWZZH-A5 portion of the Hub allows the attachment of a storage device up to 25 meters away from the Hub. The Hub provides radial connectivity by allowing the user to connect up to eight host bus adapters from any number of distributed systems to the DWZZH-09.

DWZZH 16–Bit UltraSCSI Hub (Rack-Mountable) Configuration Note According to the UltraSCSI Configuration Guidelines (included in your purchase), the maximum allowable cable distance for an UltraSCSI Domain is 74 meters. Each element, including the DWZZH-09 has an associated relative cable distance value associated. Cables count as their specified distance, (including the 0.5 meter jumper cable between the SBB Hubs);...
SCSI bus data transmission rates. Large Hub Fair Arbitration The DWZZH-S5 and the DWZZH-09 can be operated with Fair Arbitration enabled or disabled. Although it is recommended that both be operated with Fair Arbitration enabled, it is not required.
Figures 3-1 and 3-2 show the physical layout of the ports and their associated SCSI ID assignments on the DWZZH-S5 and DWZZH-09 Hubs. 3.2.1 Narrow Addressing Setting The large Hub can be used with SCSI bus architectures that are limited to eight ID assignments such as Digital Unix 4.x and earlier versions (Figure 3-5 shows...

Front Panel Figures 3-3 and 3-4 show the location of the front panel controls and indicators for the DWZZH-S5 and the DWZZH-09 Hubs. The DWZZH-09 Hub has two SBBs with each SBB having a switch and LED indicator. It is recommended that the Fair Arbitration switch be set in identical positions on all Hubs residing on the same SCSI bus.

D is ab le 3.3.1 Fair ARB Disable The large Hub contains a switch on the front panel that allows the user to disable the Fair ARB feature of the Hub. When Fair ARB is disabled, the Hub services SCSI arbitration cycles in the conventional SCSI priority order. Host port SCSI ID assignments are not linked to the physical port location in the Hub when Fair ARB is disabled.

SWCC and UltraSCSI Hubs This chapter is intended to provide you with important information regarding the use of StorageWorks Command Console on SCSI buses that have an UltraSCSI Hub. While the information provided here is important, it is essential that you have read the SWCC Manual and Release Notes.
DWZZH 16-Bit UltraSCSI HUB (Rack-Mountable) 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.
