FIGURE 2-4
shows two hosts connected to a Sun StorEdge T3 array Partner Group in
which each host maintains separate, non-shared storage.
Note – You can attach different storage types to the same switch so 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 –
Ensure that the controller modules are not connected to the same switch.
