Q
Note the following about Figure 4-1:
Zone A (pink-shaded area): initiators. All initiators and SANbox 8200-08 SSP
front-side ports (ports 1-4) are zoned together.
Zone B (orange-shaded area): storage. All storage ports, the StoreAge SVM
appliance, and SANbox 8200-08 SSP back-side ports (ports 5-8) are zoned
together.
The figure shows a configuration that does not use high-availability features.
In Figure 4-2, two independent fabrics and host failover software are used to ensure
availability. Within each switch, zoning is used to partition the front-side initiators,
and back-side (target) storage and both SVM ports. The figure uses
SANbox 8200-08 SSPs/SANbox 8202-08 SSPs.
