The fabric design shown in the exhibit is a core-edge architecture. This design consists of core switches that are centrally located and connect to edge switches, which are distributed across the network. The core switches provide high-speed backbone connectivity, while the edge switches connect directly to storage devices or servers. This architecture is commonly used in SAN environments to provide scalability, manageability, and high availability.

HPE 3PAR Persistent Ports is a feature that enables a non-disruptive environment by allowing host-based multi-pathing software to remain unaffected during events such as firmware upgrades. With Persistent Ports, the active I/O paths are automatically moved to alternate ports if the primary ports are undergoing maintenance or upgrades, ensuring continuous data access and eliminating disruptions.
