Dual Path (MPIO) Deployment
The following images illustrate some examples of deployment types for dual controller
XCubeSAN series. MPIO (MultiPath I/O) configurations are designed to provide HA (High
Availability) data connections to ensure data consistency in the rare event of a failure in the
host connectivity from a single path.
