UNIX Version 5.0, 16 devices are supported on a SCSI bus. Therefore,
multiple BA356 storage units can be used on the same SCSI bus to allow
more devices on the same bus.

Figure 1–4 shows the configuration in Figure 1–3 with a second UltraSCSI
BA356 storage unit that provides an additional seven disks for highly
available applications.

This configuration, while providing more storage, has a single SCSI bus that
presents a single point of failure. Providing a second SCSI bus would allow
the use of the Logical Storage Manager (LSM) to mirror the /usr and /var
