Single-Ported (Non-failover) Configuration
Figure 2-1 shows a simple single-ported (non-failover) configuration consisting of
one host (X), two adapters (A and B), and ten target devices (0–9). This
configuration assumes that the host has access to all connected devices;
therefore, it requires an adapter operating system driver, but does not require the
rest of SANsurfer FC HBA Manager. Other SANsurfer FC HBA Manager
components help manage devices more easily.
Figure 2-1 Single-Ported (Non-failover) Configuration
This illustration simplifies hardware connections: target devices connect through a
local loop, Fibre Channel hub, Fibre Channel switch, or any combination of those.
Reviewing this Fibre Channel topology can help when troubleshooting problems;
however, a basic configuration requires only this simple diagram showing which
hosts and adapters are connected to which target devices. This is not a failover
configuration; each target device is accessible through only one adapter.
