If this is a dual-redundant configuration, the “other controller” inherits
“this controller’s” port topology.

See Appendix B, “CLI Commands,” for more information about using
the SET THIS_CONTROLLER PORT_n_TOPOLOGY= command.

See Appendix B, “CLI Commands,” for more information about using
the SET OTHER_CONTROLLER PORT_n_ALPA= command.

9. Put “this controller” into transparent failover mode. Use the following

See details about failover modes in “Selecting a Failover Mode,” page
2–10.

10. Put “this controller” in multiple-bus failover mode using the follwing

syntax:

SET MULTIBUS_FAILOVER COPY=THIS_CONTROLLER

restarts. Wait for it to return to normal operation before continuing.

See “Selecting a Failover Mode,” page 2–10, for details about failover
modes.
