What does "striped across both disk controllers" mean?
You almost answered your question with your own question?
If you have two FCAL interfaces, you have two controllers. The filesystem disks(data disks) are spread across both loops, or "striped across both disk controllers".

If there are spare disks (same size) on both FC-AL interfaces and a disk fails Which one is used to rebuild? (Same FC-AL or random choice)
Is it a good or bad idea to split a volume over multiple FC-AL interfaces?
