Figure 2-3 Example of Alternate Path Setting

Figure 2-4 illustrates an example of setting an alternate path when a switch is

used. Two ports are specified in the local storage system, and connected to

the ports in the external storage system through the switch. In this case, two

ports of different clusters are specified in the local storage system. Therefore,

the setting of the alternate path is enabled.
