I0 from each peer node connects to the shared storage array.
From host 1, HBA 1 connects to T0 on peer node 0, and HBA 2 connects to T0 on
peer node 1.
From host 2, HBA 1 connects to T2 on peer node 0, and HBA 2 connects to T2 on
peer node 1.
From host 3, HBA 1 connects to T1 on peer node 0, and HBA2 connects to T1 on
peer node 1.
From storage array 1, controller 0 connects to I1 on peer node 0, and controller 1 connects
to I1 on peer node 1.
From storage array 2, controller 0 connects to I2 on peer node 0, and controller 1 connects
to I2 on peer node 1.
The LAN interface and Gigabit Ethernet connections exist but are not shown.
