If access switches are deployed, the quorum network and HyperMetro replication network use the same access switches to connect to different NICs on the core switches for fault isolation.
Ensure that the quorum site communicates properly with the active-active DCs.
The quorum server is deployed at a third site.
The quorum server can use a maximum of four ports (four IP addresses) to connect to the storage systems.
The storage systems and quorum server are connected directly. The quorum server uses two ports to connect to every controller on both storage systems.
Each controller on each storage system uses one GE/10GE port to connect to the quorum server.
The quorum server connects to the storage systems via two Ethernet switches.
