Connectivity Option 01
Figure 2 illustrates a recommended configuration for a fault-tolerant HPE MSA 2042 Storage system
supporting a VMware vSphere environment. In this configuration, two HPE 16 Gb FC switches are used
in the storage fabric for redundancy. Two 16 Gb HBA FC adapters in each HPE DL server—deployed as a
VMware vSphere host—provide redundant paths to the HPE MSA Storage. This configuration, with
multiple paths to storage, improves I/O performance and eliminates a single point of failure between
the vSphere hosts and the HPE MSA Storage. Direct Connection of host server to the MSA FC host ports
is also supported.
Connectivity Option 02
