4-12 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O5000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide
Figure 4-3 shows the correct method for cabling the I/O path components for
dual redundancy in a redundant FC-AL. In Figure 4-3, both Storage Hubs
connect to port 1 on one array controller and to port 2 on the other array
controller in each storage subsystem. If one Storage Hub fails, the other
Storage Hub still has access to port 1 on one array controller and port 2 on the
other array controller in each storage subsystem. This configuration ensures
that the host adapters can still access the full range of LUNs.
