Basic Configuration

Basic Configuration
The basic configuration has one host with one SCSI-2 interface connected by
a SCSI-2 bus to the SP in the storage system.
The system can survive failure of a disk module within a redundant RAID
group, but it cannot continue after failure of a SCSI-2 interface or SP.
Table 2-2 lists the error recovery features of the basic configuration.

Error Recovery: Basic Configuration
Failing Component
Continue After
Failure?
Recovery
Disk module
Yes
Applications continue running. System operator replaces
module.
Storage-control
processor
No
Storage system fails. System operator replaces SP and restarts
operating system.
Fan module
Yes
Applications continue running. System operator replaces
module.
Power supply
Yes
If redundant power supply module is present, applications
continue running; otherwise, storage system fails. Service
provider replaces power supply.
SCSI-2 interface
No
I/O operations fail to storage system disk units. Authorized
service provider replaces interface, and system operator
restarts operating system and applications.
SCSI-2 cable
No
I/O operations fail to storage system. System operator
replaces cable, and restarts operating system and
applications.
