Campus
Configuration
The campus configuration offers the same functionality as the highest availability
campus configuration, but the campus configuration contains only one switch at each
site, rather than two. The configuration is still redundant for host bus adapters,
controllers, and remote mirroring ports, but the configuration has a single point of
failure for switches. If a switch at either site fails, the Synchronous Mirroring
premium feature cannot operate. For this reason, the highest availability campus
configuration is highly recommended for total environment redundancy.
The following figure shows a complete campus configuration. The controller trays are
shown schematically with four host ports on each of two controllers in each controller
tray.
