Example Fabric/Switch Host Connection Cabling
Figure 5-10 shows an example of connecting the InfiniteStorage 4000 to multiple hosts
and HBAs using two Fibre Channel switches. For more information, see the
documentation shipped with the Fibre Channel switch.
Figure 5-10 shows a dual-switch configuration. RAID controller A (callout 1) is directly
connected to one host’s HBA 1 and switch connected to two additional host’s HBA 1
boards. RAID controller B (callout 2) is directly connected to the host’s HBA 2 board,
while HBA 2 on the two additional hosts is switch connected to controller B.
