<h3 id="mixedtechnologyenvironments">Mixed technology environments</h3>
<p>OptiConnect supports all three bus technologies within a single OptiConnect
network. OptiConnect will always configure Virtual OptiConnect when possible.
If there is more than one possible connection between any two servers it
will configure both HSL OptiConnect and SPD OptiConnect and alternate between
them.</p>
<p><a href="rzau3mixedtechnologyenvironments.htm#interop">Figure 5</a> shows an example of a mixed technology environment.
In this figure, the iSeries&trade; 830 and 840 model servers can participate as OptiConnect
nodes in both SPD and HSL OptiConnect environments. A migration unit is required
to allow some 8xx model servers to participate in an SPD OptiConnect network.
Servers with the current HSL-2 port technology do not support the attachment
of migration units. There is no seamless upgrade path for an SPD based 7xx
model server in an SPD OptiConnect network to a current model iSeries server in
an HSL OptiConnect network.</p>
