Figure 4-31 Single direct-attached host server
Best Practise: Although this particular configuration is a valid supported configuration, it
does not have redundant host connections. Best practise is to always use redundant host

Figure 4-32 on page 122 shows a single host server with two host bus adapters and
redundant paths to a single controller DS3500.
