SAN Gateways that provide redundant access to a group of up to two HP VMA-series Memory
Arrays.
In the example, SAN Gateway 1 is connected to Port A on each Memory Array, and SAN Gateway
2 is connected to Port B on each Memory Array. It is important that the Memory Gateways are
cabled to the Memory Arrays using identical slots for HA pairs. That is, if PCIe Slot 1 on SAN
