Because it includes two HP 6Gb SAS BL Switches, this configuration is similar in
appearance to a dual-domain, high-performance configuration. However, because of the single
I/O module in each MDS600/D6000 drawer, it is for single-domain use only. The additional
switch is used in conjunction with the cabling scheme and zone group strategy to obtain best
possible performance.
