Single Host Connected to Multiple Storage Arrays
FIGURE 2-2
shows a single host connected to multiple Sun StorEdge T3 array partner
pairs.
Note – You can attach different types of storage devices to the same switch, as long
as the storage devices are on different zones.
Each controller that is connected to a switch must have a unique loop ID. Whenever
you add a second controller to a switch, make sure that the loop ID of the controller
being connected is different from the loop ID of any other controller currently
connected to the same switch.
Caution –
Make sure that the controller module of the array is split between two
switches. For example, connect controller A to switch 1 and controller B to switch 2.
