Applications and Configurations
The Fibre Channel Hub modular interface provides flexibility and is upgradable to available
short-wave and long-wave optical Fibre Channel product port interfaces.
Fibre Channel products that are commonly interconnected to the Fibre Channel Hub are
Fibre Channel host bus adapters, FC-AL storage devices, and FC-AL storage arrays.
SCSI initiators (workstations and servers) set up and initiate the transfer of data to or
from the storage devices.
The storage devices that receive the requests made by the SCSI initiators are the SCSI targets.
Initiators and targets represent individual nodes that are linked by the shared FC-AL.
