Example of Multi-Port Mirrored in Fail-Over Mode
The following illustration demonstrates how the ports failover in the Multi-Port Mirrored
topology.
Switch 6 which enables automatic internal hub failover when a controller failure is detected
and also controls the logical function of switch 4. When a controller failure is detected, the
logic circuit will close connecting the “H0” and “H1” ports on the Host I/O card,
regardless of the physical position of switch 4.
As shown below even though switch 4 is disabled (down position) when the controller
failed, switch 6 logically enabled that circuit providing alternate paths to the surviving
controller ports.
