4.8.2 Host Port Connectivity in a Dual-Controller Array
Host channels connect to host computers either directly or through storage switches or
other devices. In a default dual-controller RAID configuration, each controller has four
host channels, channels 0, 1, 4, and 5. Port bypass circuits connect each pair of host
SFP ports on a host channel; as a result, each host channel accesses both controllers.
The main differences between the SANnet II 200 FC, SATA, and SATA SE arrays are
the number of host ports and the supported speed for each port (see Table 4-6).
4.8.2.1 SANnet II 200 FC Array
In a default dual-controller RAID configuration, each controller has four host ports.
Each port connects to one host channel, channels 0, 1, 4, and 5 (see Figure 4-14). All
four host channels support 1-Gbit or 2-Gbit data transfer speeds. Each host channel has
un upper port and a lower port.
