MSA SAN Switch 2/8
The MSA SAN Switch 2/8 is an optional 2-Gb/s, integrated 8-port fabric switch
(1 port internal to the MSA1000), that enables full duplex non-blocking
performance on all ports. For information about the MSA SAN Switch 2/8, refer
to the HP StorageWorks MSA SAN Switch 2/8 Installation Guide.
Figure 8 is an illustration of the MSA SAN Switch 2/8.
If you are using the MSA SAN Switch 2/8 and an additional controller is installed
for redundancy, a second MSA SAN Switch 2/8 must be ordered and installed. In
redundant configurations, the interconnect devices must be a matching pair.
If a second controller is added for additional functionality but not for system
redundancy, an MSA SAN Switch 2/8 or an MSA Hub 2/3 may be installed.
