  • Publication number: 20060039289
    Abstract: A logic arrangement, method and computer program for reducing incidence of errors in a redundant path system during a process of attachment of a device to a running subsystem, comprises a control component for encapsulating the process of attachment of a device to a running subsystem; a disabling component for disabling a path interface; a testing component for testing for the presence of a usable data path across at least one further path interface; and an enabling component for enabling the at least one further path interface to accept communication with the device responsive to a positive outcome from the testing component; wherein the control component is adapted to permit operation after attachment of the device only if full redundancy is retained. A re-enabling component may re-enable any path interface or further path interface.
