Figure 4-4: Host Port Bandwidth when the Onboard Hub is Enabled or
Disabled
IMPORTANT:
1.One drawback of using the hub function is that the host ports hubbed together may not be connected to the N_ports on a fabric switch. When host ports are hubbed together, they are ideal for connecting other RAID enclosures and
2.Another drawback is that if host ports are hubbed together, the overall host port bandwidth is halved.
For example, the Channel 1 host ports on each controller feature a 4Gb/s bandwidth and a total of 8Gb/s bandwidth from the host ports
