Software also includes the following:
• Automatic disk mirroring. This ensures that data on mirrored SCSI disks are automatically
maintained, and that data on mirrored disks are accurate and current.
• Redundant network connectivity. The server uses redundant network connections (one on
each IOP). The software detects any physical network adapter or connectivity failures. If a
failure occurs, the redundant adapter automatically controls the flow of all network traffic.
• Transparent reconfiguration. After a faulted component is returned to service, the server
automatically reconfigures any required components. For example, when a failed CE is
returned to service, that CE is automatically resynchronized so that it is identical to the CE
that is already in operation. Likewise, when a failed mirrored disk is returned to service, a
mirror copy automatically occurs so that the data on both mirrored disks is identical.
• Server management. The software includes Endurance Manager, a complete management
tool for your server. Endurance Manager is a standard Windows NT application that
enables you to monitor, configure, and manage the server. You can run Endurance
Manager locally (at an IOP or a CE) or from a remote Windows NT server. For a detailed
description of Endurance Manager and its features, refer to Chapter 4.
