Scenario 2 - Basic redundant connection
This scenario assumes a single Virtual I/O Server with two PCIe SAS adapter #5901 and a
EXP24S set on mode 1, allowing for up to 24 disks to be attached to the server. Figure 2-35
shows the connection diagram and components of the solution.
Figure 2-35 Scenario 2- Basic redundant connection
For this scenario, the required feature codes are:
One EXP24S drawer #5887 with indicator feature #9360 (mode 1 with dual #5901)
Two PCIe SAS adapter #5901
Two SAS YO cables 3 Gbps with proper length.
The ports used on the SAS adapters must be the same for both adapters or the pair. There is
no SSD support on this scenario.
