Planning a Subsystem 1–5
Units are divided between the host ports:
■ Units 0-99 are on host port 1 of both controllers (but accessible only through the active
port).
■ Units 100-199 are on host port 2 of both controllers (but accessible only through the
active port).
The limitation of transparent failover is that it only compensates for a controller failure,
and not for failures of either the Fibre Channel link or host Fibre Channel adapters.
