Non-dedicated media servers failures

Storage unit groups can also be used to protect against the failure of non-dedicated media servers. However such use does not protect other applications running of a given media server from the failure of that media server. In some cases non-dedicated media servers may form part of cluster supporting other applications. These applications can be protected using virtual storage units.
