2-38 Compaq Parallel Database Cluster Model PDC/O2000 for Oracle8i and Windows 2000 Administrator Guide Table 2-5 I/O Path Failure and Failover Scenarios in Redundant Fibre Channel Fabrics for Active/Active Configurations With Two or More RA4000/RA4100 Arrays continued Description of Failure Failover Response The Fibre Channel cable None connection between the standby array controller in one RA4000/RA4100 Array and its Fibre Channel SAN Switch is broken. A Fibre Channel SAN Switch fails. Secure Path makes each active array controller to which the failed Fibre Channel SAN Switch is connected inactive. The standby array controller in each affected RA4000/RA4100 Array becomes the active array controller. The Fibre Channel SAN Switch that is connected to the new active array controllers becomes the active I/O path for these RA4000/RA4100 Arrays. In each node, the Fibre Host Adapter that is connected to the failed Fibre Channel SAN Switch becomes inactive, and all I/O activity is rerouted through the other Fibre Host Adapter in the pair and the remaining active Fibre Channel SAN Switch. The Fibre Channel cable connection between a Fibre Channel SAN Switch and a Fibre Host Adapter in one node is broken. Secure Path makes all I/O path connections between the affected Fibre Host Adapter and active array controllers inactive. The standby array controller in every affected RA4000/RA4100 Array becomes the active array controller. The Fibre Channel SAN Switch connected to the newly active array controllers becomes the active I/O path for the entire FC-AL. The Fibre Channel SAN Switch connected to the failed Fibre Channel cable becomes inactive. The second Fibre Host Adapter in each node, which is connected to the only active Fibre Channel SAN Switch, becomes the only active Fibre Host Adapter in the node's pair. A Fibre Host Adapter in a node fails. Secure Path makes all I/O path connections between the affected Fibre Host Adapter and active array controllers inactive. The standby array controller in every affected RA4000/RA4100 Array becomes the active array controller. The Fibre Channel SAN Switch connected to the newly active array controllers becomes the active I/O path for the entire FC-AL. The Fibre Channel SAN Switch connected to the failed Fibre Host Adapter becomes inactive. The second Fibre Host Adapter in each node, which is connected to the only active Fibre Channel SAN Switch, becomes the only active Fibre Host Adapter in the node's pair.
