Connecting direct attach configurations, Single controller configuration

Page 32 highlights

The 2312sa Modular Smart Array and 2324sa Modular Smart Array use Unified LUN Presentation (ULP) - a controller firmware feature enabling hosts to access mapped volumes via host ports - without the need for internal or external switches. Connecting direct attach configurations The 2312sa G2 and 2324sa G2 support up to eight direct-connect server connections, four per controller. Connect appropriate cables from the servers' HBAs to the controller host ports as shown in the following illustrations. Single controller configuration One server/one HBA/single path Server 1 Dual controller configurations One server/one HBA/dual path Server 1 Two servers/one HBA per server/dual path Server 1 Server 2 Four servers/one HBA per server/dual path Server 1 Server 3 Server 2 Server 4 32 Connecting hosts
