1.3. Active/Active multipath configuration with one RAID device
Active/active configuration enables simultaneous I/O across multiple paths to a RAID device, distributing workload for improved performance while maintaining failover capability.
In this configuration, there are two HBAs on the server, two SAN switches, and two RAID controllers. The following image describes the configuration with two I/O paths from the server to a storage device. Here, I/O can be spread among these two paths.
