The following is an example of zoning when the LT160 is connected to a cluster
system (standby configuration). Both servers recognize the LT160 controller and
drives as the same configuration.

The switch is zoned identically for each server. If an error causes the job on the
current server to be switched, the standby server can take over the job using the
LT160 and continue operation from before the switch. Zoning can also prevent
accesses from any server outside the cluster system to ensure safe control.
