A parallel (2, n-2)-system is investigated here where two units start their operation
simultaneously and any one of them is replaced instantaneously upon its failure by one of
the (n-2) warm standbys. We assume availability of n non-identical, non-repairable units.
The unit-lifetimes in full operational mode and in partial operational mode have general
distribution functions Gi and Hi (i= 1,…, n) respectively. The system reliability is evaluated by
recursive relations.
