Servers: Multiple with same or different operating systems. See Fan-Out Rule (page 9), Clustered Server Configuration Rules (page 14). Storage Systems: 2 to 5 CX400, CX600, or FC4700 for remote mirroring. 1 per site per mirror configuration. See Fan-In Rule (page 9). For the failover software supported for a storage system, see Failover Configuration Rules (page 15). Server Connection: 1 to 2 fabrics. See Storage Area Network (SAN) Configuration Rules (page 9), Port Speed Rules (page 14), and General Switch Topology Rules (page 20). Mirror Connection: SPA port 3 (CX600) or SPA port 1 (CX400, FC4700) on local and remote storage systems connected to one switch (single fabric) or one fabric (dual fabric), and SPB port 3 (CX600) or SP port 1 (CX400, FC4700) on local and remote storage systems connected to other switch (single fabric) or other fabric (dual fabric).
