Table 29 Single Stack Multiple M1000e Enclosure Direct Connect SAN
Single Stacked, Multiple M1000e Enclosure Configuration
Advantages Concerns
•
Simplified switch management
• High-bandwidth interconnect
•
Not highly available, single stack solution
cannot be maintained without
scheduled downtime.
• Additional scalability will require SAN
network redesign and possible
downtime.
Other Notes
•
Limited scalability due to potentially excessive hop-counts and latency. Recommend no
more than 2-3 enclosures in this design
