Cache policy: Controller A
supports write-through caching
only; controller B supports write-
back caching.

Failover: In transparent failover,
all units failover to controller B
and operate normally.

In multiple-bus failover with host-
assist, only those units that use
write-back caching, such as
RAIDsets and mirrorsets, failover
to controller B.

In single configurations, the
controller only provides write-
through caching to its units.

Data loss: No

Cache policy: Both controllers
continue to support write-back
caching.
