At system startup, the operating system autoprobes hardware for legacy devices and
attached devices that are not already configured for use on the system. Often, the
device is recognized and automatically supported, requiring no direct configuration.
While the operating system may recognize legacy devices, Express5800/ftServer
System Software for the Linux Operating System (Express Builder) does not support
them as fault-tolerant devices. To be supported as a fault-tolerant device, a device
must have a special hardened driver that supports surprise removal and fault
management by Express Builder.
Some system components, such as data storage, may require additional configuration.
The following sections discuss them, as well as some of the automated features of the
ftServer system that support fault-tolerant operation and ease system administration.
