<h1 class="topictitle1">Examples: Switchable independent disk pools </h1>
<div><p>In a multisystem environment, an independent disk pool can be switched
between servers in a cluster. A switchable independent disk pool is a set
of disk units that you can switch between servers so that each server can
access the data. Only one system can access the data at a time.</p>
<p>Switchable independent disk pools can reside on one of two types of switchable
hardware devices:</p>
<dl><dt class="dlterm">External expansion unit</dt>
<dd>The switchable device can be an external expansion unit connected to
the clustered servers on the same high-speed link (HSL) loop.</dd>
<dt class="dlterm"> Input/output processor (IOP) in a logical partition</dt>
<dd>In an LPAR environment, the switchable device can be an
IOP on the bus shared by the partitions or in an I/O pool.</dd>
</dl>
<p>The entity that switches is actually the expansion unit or the IOP containing
the independent disk pool. When an expansion unit or IOP is switched, all
of the hardware attached to the switchable entity is moved to the backup
system.</p>
<p>The following example configurations and scenario illustrate some typical
switchable independent disk pools implementations: </p>
