Storage arrays and hardware
Storage arrays and hardware can be delivered with various storage, transport/link protocols. When building a fabric consisting of the dual HA DDP Head and storage arrays and or hardware, the requirement is that A/V FS must be able to communicate with these to become aware of their LUN’s.

See the table for the block based storage and transport/link protocols. A/V FS is HA for the metadata. For high availability for data paths multi path support is included in the A/V FS driver. Storage arrays from Infortrend, Seagate and the big four are real HA due to their write cache synchronisation. These can be connected via Multi path.
