Figure 64 shows an incorrect configuration of a single host with both iSCSI and
Fibre Channel connections.
Important: Do not cable the storage subsystem and host systems as shown in
Figure 64.A storage subsystem with the incorrect storage topology
might appear to be functional, but incorrect cabling can potentially have
unpredictable results.
Figure 65 on page 91 shows an example of a multiple-host, multiple-port,
multiple-switch configuration.
