MSA2000sa G2 with two c-Class enclosures, This example illustrates cabling from two BladeSystem c-Class enclosures to one MSA2300sa controller enclosure. In this configuration, note the following: • This example shows a dual-controller MSA2300sa controller enclosure with optimal cabling. Standard cabling is also supported. Standard cabling offers high availability, but, during a failover, there will be a slight performance reduction. • Because the MSA2300sa controller includes four SAS ports, optimal cabling can be used, ensuring best-possible availability.

MSA2000sa G2 with two c-Class enclosures,
This example illustrates cabling from
two
BladeSystem c-Class enclosures to
one MSA2300sa
controller enclosure. In this configuration, note the following:
This example shows a dual-controller MSA2300sa controller enclosure with optimal cabling.
Standard cabling is also supported. Standard cabling offers high availability, but, during a
failover, there will be a slight performance reduction.
Because the MSA2300sa controller includes four SAS ports, optimal cabling can be used,
ensuring best-possible availability.
