Adapter Properties (Continued) TABLE D-7 Option Description Secondary Cluster Server Indicates whether an adapter has one or more devices attached that are shared with one or more other adapters, and therefore, the Fusion-MPT PCI SCSI BIOS should avoid SCSI Bus resets as much as possible. Allows you to enable an adapter to join a cluster of adapters without doing any SCSI bus resets.

Page 207 Device Properties (Continued) TABLE D-8 Option Description SCSI Timeout Indicates the maximum amount of time [0 to 9999] in seconds to wait for a SCSI operation to complete. Since timeouts provide a safeguard that allows the system to recover if an operation fails, it is recommended to use a value greater than zero.

The mirroring is accomplished through the ﬁrmware of an LSI Logic controller that supports the standard Fusion-MPT interface. The runtime mirroring of the boot disk is transparent to the BIOS, drivers and OS. Host-based status software monitors the state of the mirrored disks and reports any error conditions. The system is conﬁgured with a second disk as a mirror of the ﬁrst primary disk.
