Figure 2-5 shows a four-cluster node connected to two RAID controller
modules. Since each cluster node has redundant paths, loss of a single path
still allows access to the storage array through the alternate path.

The high number of available Fibre Channel ports on the MD36x0f storage
system also allows you to configure four-node clusters, 2 two-node clusters or
a mix of cluster(s) and non-clustered server(s) in a direct-attached
configuration.
