Hardware Requirements


The hardware consists of multiported arrays, like the XP family and 12H, connected to multiple computers where each port has access to the drives on the other port.

The decision to verify that the host machine is downed and to activate the switchover is done by an operator, manually.

  • Only user volume sets are allowed to be cluster volume sets.
