The configuration consists of multiported arrays connected to multiple
computers as shown in Figure 1-1
"Cluster/iX", where
each port has access to the drives on the other port. Any single
computer in this topology has direct access to the cluster volume
set but all the computers in the topology agree on a single owner.
All access to the data goes through the computer that owns the volume
set.In the event that the owner computer encounters a failure,
another computer in the cluster topology can take over ownership
of the cluster volume set. The system volume set can not be configured
as a cluster volume set.
