NOTE: Although it is not a requirement for fault tolerance to house the primary and mirror
disk drives in separate FCDMs. the example configurations show FCDMs housing only primary
or mirror drives, mainly for simplicity in keeping track of the physical locations of the drives.

Two FCSAs, Two FCDMs, One IOAM Enclosure
This illustration shows example cable connections between the two FCSAs and the primary and
mirror Fibre Channel disk modules:
This table lists the FCSA group-module-slot-port (GMSP) and disk group-module-shelf-bay
(GMSB) identification for the factory-default system disk locations in the configuration of four
FCSAs, two Fibre Channel disk modules, and one IOAM enclosure:
