Reverse Topology: One XCubeSAN / Two XCubeDAS / Dual Path
The XCubeDAS can be connected in redundant connection mode based on forward
direction and backward direction. This provides the optimal networking reliability.
The following figure shows an example of a dual controller XCubeSAN series connected to
a dual controller XCubeDAS XD5300 series which is in turn connected to the second dual
controller XCubeDAS XD5300 series using mini SAS HD to mini SAS HD cable (SAS 12G
expansion cable with Wake-on-SAS, SFF-8644 to SFF-8644). The connection in forward
direction is shown as blue cables. The connection in backward direction is shown as orange
cables.
