Required hardware
Hi
I have an MSA2021 dual controller and was wondering if it is necessary to have redundant firer switches in the setup? both servers have 2 single channel HBAs. Could I not just connect the cluster nodes directly to each MSA controller (2 connections per server)?
If so, are there any downsides to this switchless config considering that there well never be a requirement to attach a third host to the MSA?

Storage
Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media used to retain digital data. In addition to local storage devices like CD and DVD readers, hard drives and flash drives, solid state drives can hold enormous amounts of data in a very small device. Cloud services and other new forms of remote storage also add to the capacity of devices and their ability to access more data without building additional data storage into a device.
