Figure 3. PowerVault MD Network Connections
Dedicated SAN High-Availability (Recommended)
It is recommended to isolate the SAN traffic from the LAN or client traffic with redundant switches for HA. All the client
cables are split between the redundant client switches, and the SAN/Internal network cables are split between the
redundant SAN switches. The MD controller management ports are split between the redundant client switches.
NOTE: In all HA configurations, the SAN switches must be stacked, lagged (link aggregation), or trunked.
