Zoning Virtual Port Groups on the SAN
ISR651101-00 J 4-11
When connecting a dual-blade iSR6200 for high availability, connect one Fibre
Channel port from each blade to each of your fabrics (see Figure 4-7). This
topology provides link-level, switch-level, and blade-level failure protection. To
make this effective, you must connect the iSCSI hosts to both iSR6200 blades.
For details, see “Connecting iSCSI Hosts to the iSR6200” on page 4-16.
