FC Host Connection Prerequisites

♦ Redundant Data Paths: In the configuration shown in Figure 4-1, the data paths are
redundant. If either of these data paths fails, I/O traffic will be transmitted along the
alternative path. If one of the host computers fails, the second host computer that is
connected to the subsystem can resume the operation of the subsystem.
NOTE:
To create dual-redundant data paths on the host side, it is necessary for third-party
failover software to be installed on the host computer.
4.1.7 Sample Topology – Direct-Attached
In the configuration shown in Figure 4-2, one (1) subsystem is connected to a single host
computer. Data path redundancy makes sense when the following configurations are
available:
1. HA access software control is available.
2. Storage volume(s) are presented on either of the host ports. The host management
software should direct all data flow through a surviving path in the event of single
path failure.
Figure 4-2: Sample Topology Includes Single Host and One Subsystem
♦ Connections: The input ports on the subsystem, FC-CH0 and FC-CH1, are
connected to two separate HBAs on a server.
♦ Redundant Data Paths: In the configuration shown above, the data paths are
redundant. If either of these data paths fails, I/O traffic will be transmitted along the
alternate path.
