Chapter 1: Overview Connecting Devices to the SAS6160 Switch

The fourth example (Figure 13) shows a server connected through two SAS6160 switches to two input connectors on a JBOD for a high-availability configuration.

Figure 13: Example 4, High Availability

This dual porting configuration provides the server a redundant path through the switches for high availability. If one of the switches or connections fails, the server can still access the JBOD through the other connection.
