Switched Fabric Connection in Dual Controller
In this type of connection, the channel link bypass is provided by external FC switches. Each application
server shown in the illustration below is equipped with two HBAs with FC links, connecting via two FC
switches to the SFP ports on individual controllers.

Number of Controllers 2
Host Servers 4 (or more via FC switches)
FC Switches 2 (or 1 into 2 zones)
Data Path Connection Fault-tolerant data paths
Each logical partition is redundantly mapped to multiple host channel IDs in an AAPP (Active-Active-
Passive-Passive) configuration. Logical volumes are managed by either controller A or controller B. The
passive IDs will only become functional when a single controller fails in the system.
The MPIO driver is needed on the application servers. This driver communicates with the system
firmware and performs load balance and automated distribution of I/O
’s across the preferred paths
(active IDs on data paths). TPGS (Target Port Group Service) is supported so that the I/O
’s are routed
to the preferred paths.
