If your direct-attach Fibre Channel host requires connectivity to both of the IBM Storwize
V5000 Gen2 I/O groups (the Storwize V5030), we suggest that at least one Fibre Channel
cable is used from the host to each of the node canisters of the IBM Storwize V5000 Gen2, as
shown in Figure 2-6. This suggestion also applies to a cluster where one I/O group is a
Storwize V5000 Gen1 and the other I/O group is a Storwize V5030.
