HP P6000 Continuous Access Implementation Guide (T3680-96431, August 2012)

A single physical fabric
Figure 27 (page 66) shows a single physical fabric zoned into five logical fabrics. Four zones are
dedicated to host I/O, and a single zone is used for replication.
NOTE: To compensate for the SPOF in a five-zone solution (the intersite link [10]), HP recommends
that availability be a QoS metric on the intersite link.

The zones depicted in the figure above as yellow or green should not be zoned across the sites. Each site should have
a unique yellow and green zone.
