Dual Host Bus Adapter
In a dual host bus configuration, the
backplane connects to two HBAs.

Dual Host Bus Adapter
Failover
If the expander or data path in Port
A fails, the system automatically
switches to Port B. This maintains a
full connection to all drives.

IMPORTANT:
For RAID controllers, redundancy is achieved through port failover.
For multiple HBAs MPIO software is required to achieve failover protection
.
Failover with RAID Cards and Multiple HBAs
The BPN-SAS3-846EL backplane may be configured for failover with multiple HBAs
using either RAID controllers or HBAs to acheive failover protection.
RAID Controllers:
If RAID controllers are used, then the failover is accomplished
through port failover on the same RAID card.
HBAs
: If multiple HBAs are used to achieve failover protection and load balancing,
Linux MPIO software must be installed and correctly configured to perform the load
balancing and failover tasks.
