Endurance software also includes the following: • Automatic disk mirroring. This ensures that data on mirrored SCSI disks are automatically maintained, and that data on mirrored disks are accurate and current. • Redundant network connectivity. The Endurance server uses redundant network connections (up to four on each IOP). The Endurance software detects any physical network adapter or connectivity failures. If a failure occurs, the redundant adapter automatically controls the flow of all network traffic. • Transparent reconfiguration. After a faulted component is returned to service, the Endurance server automatically reconfigures any required components. For example, when a failed CE is returned to service, that CE is automatically resynchronized so that it is identical to the CE that is already in operation. Likewise, when a failed mirrored disk is returned to service, a mirror copy automatically occurs so that the data on both mirrored disks are identical. • Server management. The Endurance software includes Endurance Manager, a complete management tool for your Endurance server. Endurance Manager is a standard Windows application that enables you to monitor, configure, and manage the Endurance server. You can run Endurance Manager locally (at an IOP or a CE) or from a remote Windows client. For a detailed description of Endurance Manager and its features, refer to Chapter 4. 1-10 HP Netserver AA Solution Administrator's Guide
