As a result, these I/O devices are logically associated with the CE. For example, the Endurance software can redirect a CD-ROM drive physically located in an IOP so that it is logically assigned to the CE (the CE has complete control of that CD-ROM drive). For mirrored disk devices and redundant Ethernet connections, the Endurance software coordinates all I/O processing so that these redundant components appear as a single logical device. For example, in a mirrored disk set, the two physical disks (one on each IOP) appear to the CE operating system and applications as one logical disk. If a disk failure occurs, the disk operations can transparently continue operating without affecting any server applications or clients. Preparing for the Installation 1-3
