Example—Two Shared Disk Sets

Figure 19–1 shows an example configuration that uses two disk sets.

In this configuration, Host A and Host B share disk sets A and B. They each have their own local disk set, which is not shared. If Host A fails, Host B can take over control of Host A's shared disk set (Disk set A). Likewise, if Host B fails, Host A can take control of Host B's shared disk set (Disk set B).

Figure 19–1 Disk Sets Example

Diagram shows how two hosts can share some disks through shared disk sets and retain exclusive use of other disks in local disk sets.
