Dell Unity file systems include enhanced availability and recoverability measures to minimize downtime. Fault containment and panic avoidance allows the Dell Unity system to recover corrupted file systems while they remain online in some cases, and avoids impacting the file system’s associated NAS server in the case where a corrupted file system must be taken offline for recovery. Due to Dell Unity’s truly unified architecture, a file system does not share a second level “file pool” with other file systems. This means that there is no ability for a faulted file pool LUN to potentially affect multiple associated file systems, improving fault isolation.
