Figure 2. Four Hosts in a Dual-Controller Configuration Using One HBA Each

Dual Path Data Configuration

In the following figure, up to two servers are directly attached to the RAID controller modules. If the host
server has a second Ethernet connection to the array, it can be attached to the iSCSI ports on the array's
second controller. This configuration provides improved availability by allowing two separate physical
paths for each host, which ensures full redundancy if one of the paths fail.
