WhatisFailover?

FailoverisanoptionalfeatureavailablefortheDellPowerVaultTMTL4000andTL2000Tapelibraries.

Failoverisdesignedtoprovideautomaticpathfailovertoapreconfiguredredundantpathintheevent

thatahostadapterorcontrolpathdriveislostwithoutabortingthecurrentjobinprocess.Failover

provideserrorrecoveryonanalternatepathwhenapermanenterroroccursontheprimarypath.The

failovereventisenabledbythetapelibraryandhandledbythedevicedrivermakingittransparentto

therunningBackupApplication.

TherearetwotypesofPathFailover,DataPathFailover(DPF)andControlPathFailover(CPF).Theyare

closelyrelatedhoweverthedifferenceisthatDPFisanautomaticfailoversupportforthetransferof

data,whichprovideserrorrecoveryforsystemsconnectedtotapedriveswhileCPFisanautomatic

failoversupportforthetransferofcommandstomovetapecartridges.PleaserefertotheFailover

supportedconfigurationsectionsofthisdocumentforexamplesofdifferentconfigurationsthatcanbe

constructed.
