o connect to the server by the 16-Gbps direct connection, the Fabric
Emulation function of the Hitachi host adapter is required. For the direct
connection using the Fabric Emulation function, set the Fabric setting of
the Fibre Channel port of the Storage System to ON.
For the 32-Gbps SFP added to the 4-port FC 32-Gbps package, the combinations
between data-transfer speeds and connection types are as follows:
