6 Fabric 1 7 Fabric 2 13 Drive enclosure 2 14 FC loop switch EVA6000/6100 storage system connections Figure 3 (page 19) shows a typical EVA6000/6100 SAN topology: • The HSV200-A and HSV200-B controllers connect via two host ports (FP1 and FP2) to the Fibre Channel fabrics. The hosts that will access the storage system are connected to the same fabrics. • The HP Command View EVA management server also connects to both fabrics. • The controllers connect through one loop pair to the drive enclosures. The loop pair consists of two independent loops, each capable of managing all the disks should one loop fail. Two FC loop switches are used to connect the controllers to the disk enclosures.

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