HSZ70. The array controllers can be configured as a dual redundant pair. If
you want the capability to fail over from one controller to another controller,
you must install the second controller. Also, you must set the failover mode.

In Figure 1–6 the HSZ40, HSZ50, HSZ70, HSZ80, or HSG80 has transparent
failover mode enabled (SET FAILOVER COPY = THIS_CONTROLLER). In
transparent failover mode, both controllers are connected to the same shared
SCSI bus and device buses. Both controllers service the entire group of
storagesets, single-disk units, or other storage devices. Either controller can
continue to service all of the units if the other controller fails.
______________________ Note _______________________
The assignment of HSZ target IDs can be balanced between the
controllers to provide better system performance. See the RAID
array controller documentation for information on setting up
storagesets.
