• Each SP has 3 FC controllers: one is used for processor-to-disk I/O, and the other channels called the CLARiiON Messaging Interface (CMI) are used for I/O between the two SPs

• CMI‘s primary job is to pass data to be mirrored in the write caches between SP; each SP has 2 CMI buses, which doubles the CMI performance between the 2 SPs
