User's Manual
contains redundant modules for every part of the system, including redundant network
connectivity, comprehensive switchover processing and backup data storage and
access, as well as applicable load-sharing schemes. In addition, components are hot-
swappable so that they can be replaced while the system is fully operational with no
disruption to service.
To achieve HA, the software resides on redundant components and performs the
following:
•
Monitors system components to detect any hardware failures
•
Handles switchover procedures to overcome possible failures
For more details on the HA system, see ''HA Overview'' on page 561.
