Single-Controller With Fault-Tolerant Path - Advantech ASR-5300I Series User Manual

Note! In the event of single-controller failure, a logical drive is accessed
through the host IDs managed by the alternate RAID controller. Host IDs
and port IPs do not failover to the surviving controller. Therefore, the
EonPath multipath driver is necessary for path redundancy and
controller failover.
