H OT P LUGGING
The Zeus
IOPS
3.5-inch Fibre Channel SSD can be inserted or removed from a loop during operation.
This capability is known as “hot plugging”. Fibre Channel error recovery procedures will recover from
any errors introduced by hot plugging. Whenever a drive is hot plugged, sync is detected lost due to
the removal or insertion of the drive into the loop.
The loop will recover as follows:
1 If a bypass circuit is used, the loop will re-synchronize and is operational while
the user waits for the drive to power up and become ready. If a bypass circuit is
not used, the loop loses synchronization and is not operational during this time.
2 When the drive becomes ready, and the bypass circuit (if used) is disabled, the
drive will re-synchronize with the loop. It will synchronize with the device that is
currently transmitting data to the SSD. All devices then go through loop
initialization.
3 After the loop initializes, the loop is in monitoring state and arbitration of
ownership can occur.
