Figure 2-2 Simple Failover Configuration
In this configuration, connections marked P are preferred paths to a device, and
connections marked A are alternate paths. Alternate paths to devices are typically
hidden from the operating system and file system layers to keep them from being
interpreted as two distinct devices.
