2.Two paths configuration between the FC Switch Modules
Blade Enclosure #1
Blade Enclosure #2 | Blade Enclosure #3 | Blade Enclosure #4 |
By making cascade connection between FC Switch Modules to two paths,
even if a failure occurs on one cascade path, no influence to I/O operation occur because I/O operation is succeeded by redundant path and no Fabric reconstruction occurs.
3.Alternate path between the FC Switch Modules
Blade Enclosure #1
Blade Enclosure #2 | Blade Enclosure #3 | Blade Enclosure #4 |
By making cascade connection among all four FC Switch Modules, even if a
failure occurs on one cascade path, no influence to I/O operation occur because communication between FC Switch Modules can be succeeded by the alternate path and no Fabric reconstruction occur.
