Managing High Availability

This section describes the methods to maintain high availability with your VLS.

Array Dual Pathing

The VLS12000 Gateway supports dual pathing to the Gateway arrays, which provides path balancing
and transparent path failover on the VLS. Having followed the setup recommendations in the HP
StorageWorks VLS12000 Gateway virtual tape libraries solutions guide and the installation instructions
in this guide, each node on the VLS is connected to two fabrics/zones which are each connected to
the Gateway arrays by two or more paths. This assures that the VLS can establish two paths per LUN,
each path on a separate fabric/zone.
