摘要: A method and host bus adapter for controlling failover failback processes within a redundant data storage system. The is carried out by mechanism in linked to server. system includes communication fabric providing paths pairs of controllers managing access devices (such as hard disk drives arranged RAID). operating the detect condition response, match particular action. conditions corresponding actions are stored well-defined rule set accessed adapter. continues with performing matched transparent computer device, not required participate processes.
