Direct-Attached FC Connections
This section describes how to directly connect a host to a two-controller storage system and a four-controller storage system through FC multi-path connections.
Two-Controller Storage System
Figure 3-1 shows how to directly connect a host to a 2 U two-controller storage system through FC multi-path connections.
In this connection diagram, each of the two controllers is connected to a host HBA port with an optical fiber. The cable connections are detailed in Table 3-2.
Four-Controller Storage System
Figure 3-2 shows how to directly connect a host to a 4 U four-controller storage system through FC multi-path connections.
In this connection diagram, each front-end interface module is fully interconnected with the four controllers and therefore can be accessed by all of them.
