FC Loops and LIPs

[Bill McNAMARA_1]

Hi I've overheard someone stating that an
FC10 disk is not supported as a MC/SG lock
disk becuase of the Loop reinitialisation
timescale... and the LIP.

I checked out the haweb support matrix
and they say the 1010D is fine for this job.

So: the 10 point question is
whats a lip, and why must it be done
on a loop port device failure... surely
it doesn't actually matter to the loop, but
rather to the host.
