Single Storage Controller
Figure 1-5 shows a configuration with a single connection between the switch and the
storage controller. Failures in the server, server software, host bus adapter, or cable

to the second server, and the cluster will continue to service data requests from the
second server.
NOTE: The dashed lines indicate maximum configuration.
