AMultipath configuration
examples
Regardless of the complexity of your configuration, you can configure paths between the Mac server and
the
EVA in multiple ways, depending on system and SAN resources.
This appendix describes typical multipath configu rations that follow the installation and setup guidelines.
One host adapter port to multiple EVA controllers
The configuration shown in Figure 3 provides a ctive/passive path failover between EVA controller ports
