<p>To learn more about how device parity protection is implemented,
see <a href="rzalydppiop.htm">How device parity protection works</a>. <a href="rzalyaspexamples.htm">Examples: Device parity and mirrored protection</a> shows some examples of how device parity protection can
be used in conjunction with mirrored protection.</p>

<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note:</span> If your goal is to have a system with data loss protection and concurrent
maintenance repair, a combination of mirrored protection and device parity
protection is recommended. </div>
