Chapter 2: Storage System Configurations
In the example diagrammed in Figure 2-3, some modules are bound to one
SP, which is their primary owner, and the other disk modules are bound to
the other SP, which is their primary owner. Either host can use any of the
physical disk units in the storage system, but only one host at a time can use
a physical disk unit.
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
Yes
The host with the failed adapter cannot access the disks
owned by the SP connected to the failed adapter. System
operator can transfer control of these disks to the SP
connected to the working adapter, shut down both hosts,
power off and on the storage system, and reboot both hosts.
When convenient, the Silicon Graphics SSE or other
authorized service provider can replace the interface, and the
system operator can transfer control of disk units to
replacement SP.
SCSI-2 cable
Yes
I/O operations fail to storage-system disk units owned by the
SP connected to the failed cable. System operator can transfer
control of these disk units to the other SP, shut down the host,
power off and on the storage system, reboot the host, replace
the cable, and transfer control of the disk units to the
replacement SP.
Host
Yes
Operations continue on the surviving host.
