• If a physical port becomes unavailable, the storage system is accessed from another port on the

Ethernet switch.

• If a storage controller becomes unavailable, the virtual ports on the offline storage controller move to

the physical ports on the other storage controller.

NOTE: This configuration is vulnerable to switch unavailability, which results in a loss of connectivity

between the host servers and storage system.

Steps

1. Connect each server to the iSCSI network.

2. Connect fault domain 1 (shown in orange) to the iSCSI network.

• Storage controller 1: port 1 to the Ethernet switch

• Storage controller 2: port 1 to the Ethernet switch

3. Connect fault domain 2 (shown in blue) to the iSCSI network.

• Storage controller 1: port 2 to the Ethernet switch

• Storage controller 2: port 2 to the Ethernet switch
