3 FAILOVER AUTOMATION WITH A DUAL PORT SAS
CARRIER
Iftheprimarydatachannel(JP4)ontherearoftheDP25framefails,failoversoftwarecanauto-
maticallyswitchovertothesecondarydatachannel(JP5)withnointerruption.Thisfunctionality
requirestwoSASexpandercards(soldseparately)andanOSthatsupportsfailoverclustering.
WhenusingSASdrives,addaredundantdataconnectionbypluggingtheprimarydatachannel
(JP4)intooneSASExpanderandthesecondarydatachannel(JP5)intoanother.
