Partially-redundant host and redundant drive loops
The following illustration shows examples of configurations that have partially-
redundant host loops. Partially-redundant host loops have a single link or device in
the path between the host and the RAID controller. The single links and devices on
the host Fibre Channel loop are single points of failure. If the single link or device fails,
the host is not able to access storage until the link is repaired. The host links that have
multiple paths to the storage server have path failover protection.
