Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide The following example assigns two SCSI failover disks to all arrays. If you assign only one SCSI disk as a failover device, ensure that there is sufficient freespace. If you assign more than one SCSI disk as failover devices, you need ensure that only one of these disks has sufficient space. The reason for this is that the failover operation will look for the disk that has enough space. AAC0>container set global_failover (1,2,0) (1,3,0) Executing: container set global_failover (CHANNEL=1,ID=2,LUN=0) (CHANNEL=1,ID=3,LUN=0) Use the container show failover command (with or without the /global switch) after using the container set failover command to display information about the array(s) just assigned failover disk(s), as in the following example: AAC0>container show failover /global Executing: container show failover /global=TRUE container Scsi C:ID:L GLOBAL 1:02:0 1:03:0 As the example shows, the display indicates that SCSI devices (1,2,0) and (1,3,0) are assigned as failover devices for all arrays (the word GLOBAL appears in the array column).

Adaptec SCSI RAID Software Reference Guide
The following example assigns two SCSI failover disks to all arrays.
If you assign only one SCSI disk as a failover device, ensure that
there is sufficient freespace. If you assign more than one SCSI disk as
failover devices, you need ensure that only one of these disks has
sufficient space. The reason for this is that the failover operation will
look for the disk that has enough space.
AAC0>container set global_failover (1,2,0) (1,3,0)
Executing: container set global_failover (CHANNEL=1,ID=2,LUN=0)
(CHANNEL=1,ID=3,LUN=0)
Use the
container show failover
command (with or without the
/global
switch) after using the
container set failover
command to display information about the array(s) just assigned
failover disk(s), as in the following example:
AAC0>container show failover /global
Executing: container show failover /global=TRUE
container Scsi C:ID:L
--------- ----------------------------------
GLOBAL
1:02:0 1:03:0
As the example shows, the display indicates that SCSI devices (1,2,0)
and (1,3,0) are assigned as failover devices for all arrays (the word
GLOBAL
appears in the
array
column).
