I/O Data Path Protection
You can have multiple host-to-array connections for a host. Ensure that you
select all the connections to the array when configuring host access to the
storage array.
NOTE: See the Deployment Guide for more information on cabling configurations,
at support.dell.com\manuals.
NOTE: For maximum redundancy, you must select all host connections to the array
when manually defining host topology. For example, a host might have two host
connections listed when manually configuring host access. For this host, you would
select the two host connections listed in the Available hosts section and add them
to the Selected hosts section using the Add button.
NOTE: For more information on configuring hosts see "Configuration: About Your
Host" on page 87.
If a component such as a RAID controller module or a cable fails, or an error
occurs on the data path to the preferred RAID controller module, virtual disk
ownership is moved to the alternate non-preferred RAID controller module
for processing. This process is called failover.
Drivers for multi-path frameworks such as Microsoft Multi-Path IO (MPIO)
and Linux Device Mapper (DM) are installed on host systems that access the
storage array and provide I/O path failover.
