Figure 79 (page 232) shows the cabling scheme for both non-HP P6000 Continuous Access and
HP P6000 Continuous Access configurations for EVA8100 storage systems.

Figure 80 (page 233) shows an EVA8100 configuration in which all controller host ports support
two independent, dual-redundant SANs. In this configuration, SAN 1 represents a dual-redundant
SAN with Fabric A and Fabric B. Path failover is available between Fabric A and Fabric B. SAN
2 represents a second dual-redundant SAN with Fabric C and Fabric D. Path failover is available
between Fabric C and Fabric D.
A modified version of this configuration allows for up to eight fabrics, two configured in a
dual-redundant SAN with up to six independent fabrics. A minimum of two fabrics must be
configured as a dual-redundant SAN to provide redundant access for the EVA management server.
