• When configuring multipathing for reliability, make sure to configure a redundant connection for the
controllers of the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system. Configure paths to connect to different controllers
(CM#0 and CM#1). Combinations of host interface numbers (CA#0 and CA#1) in controllers do not need
to be taken into consideration.
• Paths from a single server should be separately connected to a different host interface in case of host
interface failure.
■ Cluster configuration
When a server is duplicated in a cluster configuration and the ETERNUS DX Disk storage system is shared by
multiple servers, software to control the cluster configuration is required.
