    Glossary active-active Active-active mode is when two controllers in an external subsystem cooperate to provide redundancy. If one controller fails, the remaining controller will take over the failed controller’s functionality. To accomplish this, each controller has two host SCSI ports, one of which is normally active, the other normally passive. In a failed-over configuration, the passive port becomes active and assumes the identity of the failed controller.
