40 Product Overview
high-performance disks, and the other RG from large, slower, high-
capacity disks.
The VA 7100 and VA 7400/7410 differ in their implementation of
redundancy groups.
VA 7100/7110 Redundancy Group
The VA 7100 and VA 7110 each have one redundancy group (RG1). See
Figure 13
and
Figure 14
. All the disks in the array belong to RG1. LUNs
created from RG1 are available through both controllers (in a dual controller
configuration).
There are two internal fibre channel loops, one from each controller. The Fibre
channel disks are dual ported; each fibre channel port is connected to a
different controller. The controllers are connected via an internal high-
performance bus, which allows the LUNs to be accessed through both
controllers, and for loop or disk failover communication.
