Hubs
Because of the fast growth and the increased demand for FC attachments, hubs
can provide cascading (multiple) loops within a FC network. StorageTek tape
drives are designed to use hubs to provide for an arbitrated loop which
provides the following capabilities:
• Centralizes the attachment of the tape drives within the arbitrated loop
• Establishes connections with fiber-optic cables
• Provides translation of physical media (such as copper to optical fiber)
• Provides an external power supply for the port bypass
• Provides port bypass functionality for port failures
• Allows cascading to increase tape drive and initiator attachment
