FIGURE 2-3 Primary Data Paths to the Master Sun StorEdge T3+ Array
To access the LUN on the alternate master, the Sun StorEdge T3+ array I/O could
travel:
■ From HBA-0 -> switch -> virtualization engine(1) -> switch -> alternate master
controller (primary route from HBA-0)
■ From HBA-0 -> switch -> virtualization engine(1) -> switch -> switch -> master
controller -> backend loop to alternate master (secondary route from HBA-0)
■ From HBA-1 -> switch -> virtualization engine(2) -> switch -> switch -> alternate
master controller (primary route from HBA-1)
■ From HBA-1 -> switch -> virtualization engine(2) -> switch -> master controller -
> backend loop to alternate master (secondary route from HBA-1)
