<h1 class="topictitle1">Ring-level protection</h1>
<div><div class="fignone"><p>Determine if you want Ring-level protection based on the following: </p>
<ul><li>HSL failures are rare compared with other disk-related hardware failures.</li>
<li>If an HSL fails, disk I/O operations might continue, but other hardware
is lost (such as work stations, printers and communication lines) making the
system unusable.</li>
</ul>
<br /><img src="rzaix517.gif" alt="Figure showing the elements of ring-level protection" /><br /><p>To achieve ring-level protection, all disk units that are present in the
expansion unit in the first HSL must also have a mirrored units present in
another expansion unit in the second HSL. The figure shows the elements of
ring-level protection: two HSL rings, connected to two expansion units that
each contain two buses that are attached to separate IOPs, IOAs, and disk
units, respectively.</p>
