|

|
<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™ 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>
