Dual Path (MPIO) Deployment
The following images illustrate some examples of deployment types for dual controller
XCubeFAS series. MPIO (Multipath I/O) configurations are designed to provide HA (High
Availability) data connections to ensure data consistency in the rare event of a failure in the
host connectivity from a single path.

The following figure shows an example of a dual controller, connect enclosure configuration
with one host accessing the storage via switches. One host is connected to a dual controller
XCubeFAS series using CAT 6 network cables.
