4.4.3Hub Disabled and Switched Fabric Connection

With disabled hub, the individual host channels from individual RAID controllers are connected to two separate switched fabric networks. This can apply to applications using the RAID subsystem as a common storage pool where component and path redundancy is also important.

For simplicity reason, only two servers are shown in the diagram. More cable links can be used to connect more application servers within a switched fabric.
