<div><p>Consider the following information to ensure adequate protection.</p>
<ul><li><a href="rzalylopdsk.htm">Disk-unit level protection</a> <p>If you have planned
for disk-unit level protection, you do not need to do anything more. All mirrored
disk pools have disk-unit level protection if they meet the requirements for
starting mirrored protection.</p>
</li>
<li><img src="./delta.gif" alt="Start of change" /><a href="rzalyiobuslevelprotection.htm">Input/output bus level protection</a> <p>If
you have planned for I/O bus level protection, you do not need to do anything
more. All mirrored disk pools have I/O bus level protection if they meet the
requirements for starting mirrored protection.</p>
<img src="./deltaend.gif" alt="End of change" /></li>
<li><a href="rzalylopctl.htm">Input/output adapter level protection</a> <p>If your planned
disk units do require an IOA, add as many IOAs as possible, keeping within
the defined system limits. Then balance the disk units among them according
to the standard system configuration rules.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="rzalylopiop.htm">Input/output processor level protection</a> <p>If you want IOP-level
protection and do not already have the maximum number of IOPs on your system,
add as many IOPs as possible, keeping within the defined system limits. Then
balance the disk units among them according to the standard system configuration
rules. You might need to add additional buses to attach more IOPs.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="rzalylopbus.htm">Bus-level protection</a> <p> If you want bus-level
protection and already have a multiple-bus system, you do not need to do anything.
If your system is configured according to standard configuration rules, the
mirrored pairing function pairs storage units to provide bus-level protection
for as many mirrored pairs as possible. If you have a single-bus system, you
can add additional buses as a feature option.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="rzalytower.htm">Expansion-unit level protection</a> <p>If your system is
configured with an equal number of equal capacity disk units between expansion
units, the mirrored pairing function pairs the disk units in different expansion
units to provide expansion-unit level protection on as many disk units as
possible.</p>
</li>
<li><a href="rzalyring.htm">Ring-level protection</a> <p>If your system is
configured with an equal number of equal capacity disk units between high-speed
links (HSL), the mirrored pairing function pairs the disk units in different
high-speed link (HSL) configurations to provide ring-level protection on as
many disk units as possible.</p>
