Dual Host Bus Adapter
In a dual host bus conguration, the
backplane connects to two HBA's.

Failover
If the expander or data path in Port A
fails, the system automatically switches
to Port B. This maintains a full connec-
tion to all drives.

IMPORTANT: For RAID controllers, redundancy is achieved through port
failover. For multiple HBAs MPIO software is required to achieve failover
protection.
E-11 Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs
The SAS-216EL backplane may be congured for failover with multiple HBAs using
either RAID controllers or HBAs to acheive failover protection.
RAID Controllers: If RAID controllers are used, then the failover is accomplished
through port failover on the same RAID card.
HBAs: If multiple HBAs are used to achieve failover protection and load balancing,
LinuxMPIO softwaremust beinstalled andcorrectly conguredto perform
the load balancing and failover tasks.
