Two-fabric configuration
Figure 21 (page 59) through Figure 23 (page 61) show two-fabric connection configurations. In
these configurations each fabric is used for both host I/O and replication.
• Figure 21 (page 59) shows the basic two-fabric connections.
• Figure 22 (page 60) shows the two-fabric connection used between an EVA3000/5000
(four–port controller pair) and an EVA8x00 (eight–port controller pair). These connections are
also used for the EVA4400 controller without the embedded FC switch.
• Figure 23 (page 61) shows the two-fabric connection used with the embedded switch EVA4400
controllers. The Fibre Channel switch functionality is integrated into the EVA4400 controllers.
