Check for connections through two fabrics to each target LUN — This host policy monitor
enables you to determine if there are redundant connections between the host group and the
target LUN.
To prevent a single point of failure, the host should have a redundant connection to the target
LUN. Available hosts include both automatic hosts and manual hosts. An automatic host is a
host discovered through Host adapter discovery or VM Manager discovery. A manual host is a
host enclosure manually created through host port mapping in the fabric topology.
Depending on how you discover the hosts, there are recommended configurations you should
complete to avoid inaccuracy:
-
Host adapter discovery (refer to

more inter-fabric routes) to establish a complete path from host to target LUN.
