multiple BA356 storage units can be used on the same SCSI bus to allow
more devices on the same bus.
Figure 1–4 shows the configuration in Figure 1–3 with a second UltraSCSI
BA356 storage unit that provides an additional seven disks for highly
available applications.

This configuration, while providing more storage, has a single SCSI bus that
presents a single point of failure. Providing a second SCSI bus would allow
the use of the Logical Storage Manager (LSM) to mirror the /usr and /var
file systems and the data disks across SCSI buses, removing the single SCSI
bus as a single point of failure for these file systems.
