Provides high availability for storage area network connectivity by ensuring that fabric components remain operational during a failure. This separation is implemented through physical or logical isolation of VSANs across the fabric.
SAN A/B separation is a redundancy strategy that maintains network connectivity by isolating fabric components.
-
Ensures continuous availability if a single fabric component fails.
-
Supports implementation through physical or logical separation.
-
Utilizes VSAN isolation to maintain distinct traffic paths across the fabric.
