Single Failure, to storage occurs if any other element fails.

This example shows a fully redundant fabric configuration. If a fibre channel switch or HBA fails, the alternate switch still connects both storage controllers in the storage array. If a storage controller also fails, the host can still access the remaining controller and all virtual disks fail over to that controller. A complete loss of access to storage occurs if any other element fails. Figure 21. Single Failure Dell MD Storage Array vCenter Plug-in | 28

switch still connects both storage controllers in the storage array. If a storage controller also fails, the host can
still access the remaining controller and all virtual disks fail over to that controller. A complete loss of access
to storage occurs if any other element fails.
