1.Channel 2 drive ports connect to drive loop A ports on expansion units.
2.Channel 3 drive ports connect to drive loop B ports on expansion units.
3.Only one host port connection per channel is allowed when connecting to a fabric switch.
4.8.1Drive Port Connectivity in a Dual-Controller Array
Drive channels connect to the internal drives in the array and can also connect to drives in external expansion units. The key difference between the SANnet II 200 FC and SATA array drive channels is the assignment of two ports for each channel:
■The SANnet II 200 FC array has a drive channel assigned to two ports on each I/O controller module. Each drive channel is a pair of ports on a single I/O controller module. In a
■The SANnet II 200 SATA array has a drive channel assigned to one port on each I/O controller module in a
