Enhance cluster fault tolerance by adding dual paths from the host servers to the shared storage. This provides an
additional level of fault tolerance by adding redundancy and performance to both the HBA in the host server as well as the
SCSI cables connecting the host servers to the shared storage. Smart Array Multipath software delivers dual path
functionality and supports failover capabilities for redundant host bus adapters (HBAs) in a server with redundant cabling
to a Modular Smart Array 500. This fault-tolerance tool enhances availability of clustering and direct attached storage
(DAS) solutions with up to two servers managing up to 2 TB of stored data.
When an HBA failure occurs, the software moves the logical drives from the path of the failed HBA to the path of the
redundant HBA located in the same server.
Increase availability by protecting against connectivity (HBA) and cable failures and accidental pull-outs.
Ships with 4-Port Shared Storage Module
Increase performance with Static LUN Balancing (Microsoft OS) enables the administrator to optimize I/O by
assigning specific volumes to specific paths in the storage system. If one path fails the system moves volumes to the
path for redundant HBA for I/O management.
Increase performance with Static Load (read-only) Balancing (Linux OS) enables the HBAs to optimize I/O with dual
paths to the same volumes in the storage system. If one HBA fails the system moves volumes to the path for the
redundant HBA for I/O management.
Supported Operating Systems: Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition;
Windows 2000 Server; Windows 2000 Advanced Server; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, Red Hat Linux Advanced
