HP Continuous Access EVA 3-site configurations
This section describes HP Continuous Access EVA 3-site configurations:
• Figure 96 on page 304
• Figure 97 on page 305
• Figure 98 on page 306
• Figure 99 on page 307
The first three configurations (Figure 96 through Figure 98) provide a fan-in or fan-out relationship
between sites. The fourth configuration (Figure 99) provides for a peer-to-peer relationship between
all sites.
