Switch 2 configures the enclosure for the imageRAID Controller.
Switch 4 provides the link between the Host I/O card “H0” and “H1” ports to
the same Fibre loop.
Dual Port Multi-Host Single Connection
This topology provides a base shared RAID storage solution for up to four host
systems. It offers the following advantage: clustered storage between multiple
host system (no requirement for external hubs or switches). It has a few
disadvantages: the controller and the single fibre loop are single points of failure,
for clustering operations third-party clustering software is required and it also has
limited bandwidth performance due to a singe Fibre loop (200 MB/sec).

In this topology the Host I/O card switches 1, 2, and 4 are set to the “Up”
position.
Switch 1 sets the bus speed mode on the Host I/O card to 2 GB/sec.
Switch 2 configures the enclosure for the imageRAID Controller.
Switch 4 provides the link between the Host I/O card “H0” and “H1” ports to
the same Fibre loop.
