A customer wants to connect their Storage Controllers to Fibre Channel switches using as many...

To maximize the connectivity between Storage Controllers and Fibre Channel switches, all available ports should be utilized. This ensures redundancy and maximizes throughput. The exhibit provided shows a Storage Controller with four ports labeled 1, 2, 3, and 4. Without specific design documents, the general best practice is to use all available ports for suchconnections, assuming the ports are configured for Fibre Channel traffic and the infrastructure supports it.

General best practices for Fibre Channel connectivity and port usage are discussed in various Dell EMC documents, such as the “Introduction to XtremIO X2 Storage Array” and “Configuring Fibre Channel Storage Arrays” documents12.

Specific port configurations and their usage would be detailed in the Dell XtremIO Design documents, which would provide definitive guidance on which ports to use for connecting to Fibre Channel switches.
