Figure 1. Single controller configuration Additional RA4000s can be added simply by connecting them to the hub while the loop is not active. The added RA4000 can then be configured using the Array Configuration Utility7. Figure 2 shows that using redundant host adapters, Storage Hubs, and RA4000 Redundant Controllers, an NSPOF configuration can be deployed. Figure 2.
