Chapter 2 — Architecture Overview
If the library contains two RIM2s, it can be configured to use the BlueScale
Controller failover feature. This feature configures the two controllers as a
failover pair to provide a redundant control path to the robotics (see
Controller Failover on page 67 for additional information).
If desired, you can configure multiple RIM2s as exporters for the same
partition and use your host software to export the same changer interface
over the RIMs to provide redundancy. These multiple paths cannot be used
at the same time.
Figure 20 shows an example of a partition with direct‐attached Fibre
Channel drives and a RIM2. Port A on the RIM provides the robotic control
path over which the commands to the robotics are received from the host.
