/SM590000An example of an unsupported configuration for a dual inter-site link is shown in 
Figure 11-106 (configuration 9).

As shown in Figure 11-106, this configuration is similar to Configuration 5, but differs 
because each node now also has two ports that are configured with remote copy port 
groups. In this configuration, the path selection algorithm can select a path that might 
cause partnerships to change to the Not_Present state and then recover, which results in 
a configuration restriction. The use of this configuration is not recommended until the 
configuration restriction is lifted in future releases.
/SM590000An example deployment for configuration 2 with a dedicated inter-site link is shown in 
Figure 11-107 (configuration 10).
