4.6.2.2 Sun StorEdge 3511 FC Array
In a default dual-controller RAID configuration, each controller has six host ports:
■ Two host ports connect to channel 0 (FC0)
■ Two host ports connect to channel 1 (FC1)
■ One host port connects to channel 4 (FC4)
■ One host port connects to channel 5 (FC5)
See
FIGURE 4-10. Channels 0 and 1 support 1-Gbit or 2-Gbit data transfer speeds.
Channels 4 and 5 support 2-Gbit data transfer speeds only.
If a fabric switch is connected to one port of channel 0 or channel 1, no connections
can be made with the other three ports of that channel. If channel 0 (FC0) is
connected to a fabric switch, for example, the second port for channel 0 on that
