EVA6000/6100 storage system connections

Figure 3 (page 19)
The HSV200-A and HSV200-B controllers connect via two host ports (FP1 and FP2) to the
Fibre Channel fabrics. The hosts that will access the storage system are connected to the same
fabrics.
The HP Command View EVA management server also connects to both fabrics.
The controllers connect through one loop pair to the drive enclosures. The loop pair consists
of two independent loops, each capable of managing all the disks should one loop fail. Two
FC loop switches are used to connect the controllers to the disk enclosures.
