vSphere configuration using Dell Fibre Channel SAN

If you use Fibre Channel storage, you can connect a single Fibre Channel Host Bus Adapter (HBA) to a Fibre Channel switch that provides paths to both the storage controllers on the Fibre Channel storage unit. To provide maximum protection against a single failure at the HBA, Fibre Channel switch, or SP level, Dell recommends that you use two Fibre Channel HBAs on the ESXi host connected to separate Fibre Channel switches. The Fibre Channel switches provide redundant paths to the storage controllers on the storage unit. The following figure shows the vSphere configuration using Fibre Channel SAN.
