Topologies
The disk system supports high availability through redundant components and
redundant connections to redundant hosts. Each port on a LCC can be connected
to a different host bus adapter in the same or different hosts. Mirroring inside a
disk system is not a high availability solution to the extent that a midplane failure
would necessitate downtime.
Basic high availability topologies are described on the following pages. For
information about specific supported topologies, consult an HP sales
representative.
