If you are using the P63x0/P65x0 EVA Fibre Channel controller and plan to configure it with an external iSCSI device, see the HP MPX200 Multifunction Router User Guide, which is available at: http://www.hp.com/support/manuals Under storage - HP P6300 | HP P6300/P6500 EVA Installation Guide (5697-2485, September 2013) - Page 67
redundant paths for fault tolerance. Port P1 on I/O module A of the top disk enclosure and port P2 on I/O module A of the bottom disk enclosure represent the beginning and end of the path.

P65x0 EVA controllers to the disk enclosures (2C6D) Y-cables (see Figure 56 (page 71)) are used to connect the P65x0 and enable each controller port to act as two ports. The Y-cables provide connectivity to each SAS domain (indicated as DP-1 and DP-2 on the cables in the diagrams). The Y-cable - HP P6300 | HP P6300/P6500 EVA Installation Guide (5697-2485, September 2013) - Page 72
