Connecting Data Hosts to the 2540 Array
The Sun StorageTek 2540 Array connects to data hosts through Fibre Channel (FC)
cables.
Note – For maximum hardware redundancy, you must install a minimum of two
HBAs in each host. Dual-port HBAs give you two paths into the storage array but do
not ensure redundancy if the HBA fails. Single controller and single path
configurations are supported but are not recommended.
