2-14 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O2000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide I/O Data Paths in a Redundant Fibre Channel Fabric A distinct I/O path connection exists between each Fibre Host Adapter in a redundant Fibre Channel Fabric and every array controller port in each RA4000/RA4100 Array in that redundant Fibre Channel Fabric. Fibre Host Adapter-to-Fibre Channel SAN Switch Paths Figure 2-4 highlights the I/O data paths that run between the Fibre Host Adapters and the Fibre Channel SAN Switches in a redundant Fibre Channel Fabric. Fibre Host Adapters (2) Fibre Channel SAN Switch #1 Node 1 Fibre Host Adapters (2) Node 2 Fibre Channel SAN Switch #2 RA4000/4100 Array #1 RA4000/4100 Array #2 Figure 2-4. Fibre Host Adapter-to-Fibre Channel SAN Switch data paths Secure Path monitors the status of the components along each active path. If Secure Path detects the failure of a Fibre Host Adapter, Fibre Channel cable, or Fibre Channel SAN Switch along an active path, it automatically transfers all I/O activity on that path to the components on the defined backup path.
