Installing the DuraStor Storage Subsystem Hubs Enabled In the following figures, the DuraStor 7220SS storage subsystem's two controllers are configured in an active-active dual-port mode with the internal hubs enabled. In Figure 3-42, two hosts are connected via two independent loops using the enclosure's built-in hub bypass circuits. These circuits provide two internal hubs, eliminating the need for the use of external Fibre Channel hardware, other than the cables.
