<p>A reliable and fault-tolerant multi-peripheral-device enclosure (1400) for use in high-availability computer systems uses a three-tiered port bypass control strategy for diagnosing and isolating malfunctioning peripheral devices (1402-1409) within the multi-peripheral-device enclosure, and uses a similar three-tiered port bypass control strategy for isolation of the entire multi-peripheral-device enclosure from a communications medium that interconnects the multi-peripheral-device enclosure with one or more host computers. <IMAGE></p> |
