C-series VSAN high availability
Figure 57 (page 139) shows a typical high-availability configuration with server and storage
connections to different fabrics. It provides two paths for data access between servers and storage.
The addition of an ISL between Fabric A and Fabric B enables you to manage both fabrics through
a single management server. This configuration is classified as a level 3 high-availability
configuration. For information about SAN data availability levels, see “Data availability” (page 38).
