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:
Connectio

Data transfer speeds for 32-Gbps ports
2 Gbps 4 Gbps 8 Gbps 16 Gbps 32 Gbps Auto

Notes:
1. If this combination is specified, the maximum transfer speed automatically specified is 8
Gbps.
2. If this default value is set, Fabric is set to ON automatically.
Note: The five Hitachi FC HBAs also have an alternate option of
Fabric Emulation. When the HBA is configured to use this mode,
treat it as an attached switch and set the storage port to Fabric =
On and Connection Type = P-to-P.
• Due to high-speed serial data transfer is performed via Fibre Channel, use
high-quality Fibre Channel cables that comply with the Fibre Channel-PH
standard.
