each controller.
The unique identifier can also be accessed from "View and Edit
Configuration Parameters" "Controller Parameters" "Controller
Unique ID."

Controllers running firmware version 3.14 and above supports
controller communications over Fibre loops.
There are two options with the controller communications over
Fibre loops. Hardware configuration should be completed before
firmware setting.

and configure the selected FC channels into "RCCOM
(Redundant Controller Communication)" mode. To ensure
the connection with data path redundancy, you may use
two channels as the dedicated RCC loops. The dedicated
channels should not be attached with any other device.
