In operation with System Mirror, if a hardware failure occurs while the system is
operating, the failure location (system) is disconnected, and the task is continued with
the other system. The disconnection stops neither the system nor the task. After the
disconnection, the task is performed only by one system, while a search for the cause
of the failure is made so that the faulty component can be replaced quickly and
operation can return to system mirrored operation quickly. Thus, System Mirror can
improve business continuity in the event of a hardware failure.
