Enclosure topology refers to the manner in which the data paths among the enclosures are connected:
•Individual Subsystem
•JBOD Expansion – One Astra ES subsystem plus one or more JBOD expansion subsystems, managed through one subsystem or head unit
•RAID Subsystem Cascading – Multiple Astra ES subsystems, managed through one subsystem or head unit
The logical connections for these arrangements are shown the Enclosure Topology tab.
