<h1 class="topictitle1">Input/output bus level protection</h1>
<div><div class="fignone"><p>Determine whether you want I/O bus level protection based on the following: </p>
<ul><li>To keep your system available when an I/O bus fails.</li>
<li>To concurrently repair a failed disk unit.</li>
</ul>
<p>To achieve I/O bus protection, all disk units must have a mirrored unit
attached to a different I/O bus. This figure shows I/O bus protection.
The two storage units make a mirrored pair. With I/O bus protection, the system
can continue to operate if one I/O bus fails. If the IOA or the IOP fails,
the system cannot access data on either of the disk units, and the system
is unusable.</p>
<br /><img src="rzaix526.gif" alt="Figure showing the elements of I/O bus level protection" /><br /><p>This figure shows the elements of I/O bus protection: one bus, connected
to one I/O processor, connected to one IOA, with two or more I/O buses, each
attached to a separate disk unit. </p>
