Endurance 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 Endurance server uses redundant network
connections (up to four on each IOP). The Endurance 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
Endurance 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 are identical.
• Server management. The Endurance software includes Endurance Manager, a complete
management tool for your Endurance server. Endurance Manager is a standard Windows
application that enables you to monitor, configure, and manage the Endurance server. You
can run Endurance Manager locally (at an IOP or a CE) or from a remote Windows client.
For a detailed description of Endurance Manager and its features, refer to Chapter 4.
