The hosts that will access the storage system are connected to the same fabrics. • The HP P6000 Command View management server also connects to the fabric. • The controllers connect through two loop pairs to the drive enclosures. Each loop pair consists of two independent loops, each capable of managing all the disks should one loop fail.
