Single FC Port, Dual FC Switch, Single Fabric
In this example, the fabric includes two FibreChannel switches. Servers
1–3 are connected to the first FC switch; servers 4–6 are connected to the
second switch. The FC switches are connected to two RAID arrays, which
contain multiported disks. If a switch fails, the servers connected to the
other switch will survive and access to storage will be maintained.
