EVA4000/4100 storage system connections

Figure 4 shows a typical EVA 4000/4100 SAN topology:
• 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. The controllers
connect directly to the disk enclosures.
